Melbourne area

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

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 Melbourne.

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.
