Northern Victoria Region

Wendy LOVELL (Northern Victoria) (12:47): (573) My question is for the Minister for Roads and Road Safety and concerns the abysmal state of the A300 Midland Highway west of the C355 Echuca Road in Mooroopna. The Midland Highway is a major arterial road which supports significant heavy freight and domestic traffic, and like all Victorian roads, the surface has severely deteriorated. Motorists encounter frequent and extensive potholes and other damage scattered across the length of the highway, posing a significant risk of damage to their vehicles and, more importantly, their safety. Damage has become increasingly hazardous on a section of the road between the C355 Echuca Road through to the west of the C357 Tatura-Undera Road, with the most significant damage being between Joseph Street and the Echuca Road intersection in Mooroopna. My question for the minister is: will you order immediate repairs to the Midland Highway from Echuca Road to west of the Tatura-Undera Road?
