Crews undertake full rebuilding works on a section of the Henty Highway in Dooen, four sections of the Wimmera Highway around Vectis, Jung and Rupanyup, and two sections of the Western Highway around Wail and Pink Lake.
The works are part of a major road infrastructure project across Victoria, with more than 1000 maintenance projects across 1300km of road network.

"Investing in regional roads is about investing in regional communities - these are the connections that Victorians rely upon to get to work, to access education and to stay connected with family and friends," he said.
"We're continuing to deliver major investments in our regional road network, providing safer, smoother and more reliable journeys."
With crews set to be out in force across the region's roads, drivers are reminded to remain patient and stay alert when travelling through work sites, keeping road workers safe as they get on with delivering these essential works.
