Hume region

We’re busy rebuilding, repairing and resurfacing roads right across the state, including key routes across the Hume Region.

This year's road maintenance program is targeting high-traffic areas and busy freight routes, including some of the most important roads connecting communities in the north east.

We regularly inspect roads and carry out emergency repairs as needed, while more extensive works, such as road rebuilding and rehabilitation, are delivered during the warmer, drier months from September to May to ensure repairs are long-lasting.

Works underway

Murray River Road over Burrowye Creek, Burrowye

Following recent heavy rain and flooding events in north east Victoria our structures team has identified repair works required to the embankment of Burrowye Creek underneath the Murray River Road in Burrowye. 

We’ve put in place a lane closure and reduced speed limit of 40km/h over Burrowye Creek bridge on the Murray River Road. 

Oversize Overmass (OSOM) vehicles will not be able to travel over the bridge and will need to seek an alternative route. 

We will provide further updates as works progress. 

Kiewa Valley Highway maintenance works

We’ll be undertaking vital maintenance works on the Kiewa Valley Highway between Wodonga-Yackandandah Road and Lindsay Road.

The works are required to repair a damaged culvert and restore the road surface following recent heavy rain fall.

The Kiewa Valley Highway will be closed between Wodonga-Yackandandah Road and Lindsay Road from Tuesday 25 August while works are completed.

Motorists will be required to detour around the work site using Wodonga-Yackandandah Road and Linsday Road.  Please follow the detour signs and allow extra time.

Works are expected to take 4 days, weather permitting.  Once  works start , the road closure and detour will remain in place until the works are completed.

Traffic management crews will be on site to help you move through the area while we complete these important works.

Please note: These dates and times are subject to change due to weather conditions.
