The local roads are set to undergo upgrades as part of the next stage of the Victorian Government’s Safe Local Roads and Streets Program, and its 2025-26 Road Maintenance Blitz.
Resurfacing works are planned to be undertaken between now and mid 2026 for the Hume Fwy at Violet Town and for the Midland Hwy at Stewarton and Benalla.
$210 million has been allocated over four years to improve safety and reduce road trauma as part of the Safe Local Roads and Streets Program, which enables councils to apply for grants of up to $2 million to design and deliver local projects.
The program complements the state’s single-year $976 million road maintenance program, with 70 per cent of this funding directed towards regional roads.
