Lengthy works underway
REHABILITATION works on the Hamilton Highway between Darlington-Terang Road and Darlington-Camperdown Road are now underway for the new year.
Crews are working on a 3.6 kilometre stretch of highway with works expected to be completed by the end of March, after a scheduled pause during the Christmas period.
A Department of Transport and Planning spokesperson said the investment would support a key transportation route.
“We’re investing in maintaining our regional roads across the state, including delivering upgrades on the Hamilton Highway at Darlington,” the spokesperson said.
“These works will ensure we can continue to maintain this key freight and farming route and get locals where they need to go.”
In order to repair and strengthen the road, the project will completely rebuild the road – delivering smoother journeys and ensuring the road will last for years to come.
The project is backed by a record $976 million investment.
Crews are hard at work delivering hundreds of major maintenance projects on Victoria’s roads across the state.
“The $976 million Better Roads Blitz will fix potholes and upgrade road surfaces right across Victoria – with 70 per cent directed to regional roads,” the Department of Transport and Planning spokesperson said.
