The Carroll Labor Government is getting back to basics and fixing our roads – with works now underway across Victoria's central north.

Crews are out patching the Goulburn Valley Highway, between Nagambie and Seymour.

The highway is a vital route connecting agricultural areas in the Hume region to major transport hubs.

Lane closures and reduced speed limits are in place as crews get to work along the corridor. 

The works are part of Labor's record pothole blitz, backed by an extra $352 million to double the number of potholes fixed this year, from 250,000 to 500,000.

That's double what the Liberal-One Nation Coalition claim they'd fix in a year.

More than 83,000 potholes have already been repaired across Victoria between 1 July and 22 September, with works ramping up as warmer weather creates better conditions for long-lasting road repairs.

The investment forms part of a record $1.4 billion road maintenance program for 2026-27, with 70 per cent of funds going to regional Victoria.

Only Labor is getting on with fixing our roads, faster.
