The Victorian Government will spend an extra $170 million to upgrade the state’s roads.
Next week’s Victorian budget will see $466 million slated for road funding, including $90 million for the rebuilding of roads and $80 million for road resurfacing.
Premier Denis Napthine said VicRaods will determine where the money will be spent, but said priority areas included roads affected by flooding, ABC reported.
Roads Minister Terry Mulder said rain had caused potholes on several country roads.
"We've gone through two years of rehabilitating some of the roads dealing with pot holes as quickly as we possibly could but now this gives us an opportunity to plan," he said.
