Victorian road maintenance program 2024 25

Hume region

Find out about the maintenance work being done in the Hume region as part of the Victorian road maintenance program for 2024-25.


June 2025 update

Some of the most important roads for connecting communities in our regions have been included in the 2024-25 road maintenance program.

Maintenance is vital for keeping the Victorian road network running smoothly and ensuring road users can travel safely and efficiently.

Our maintenance program focuses on strengthening roads across the network, with recent efforts directed toward roads impacted by floods and extreme rainfall.

As we move into this year’s maintenance season, the focus will shift to resurfacing and rebuilding roads across the network. This will involve replacing multiple layers of road surfaces to enhance durability and safety for all road users.
