Since late 2022, work to repair the more-than 600km of council-managed roads has been under way following major flooding of local waterways.
Gannawarra Shire Council chief executive Geoff Rollinson thanked residents and drivers for their understanding while works occurred.
“These works were funded thanks to joint Commonwealth and state government-funded Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements,” he said.
“However, like many of the municipalities impacted by the 2022 floods, receiving state government approval for repairs delayed our ability to roll out these works.”
Mr Rollinson said the finished works would allow residents to travel with ease, and improve connections between farmers and services they access.
Meanwhile, the council is continuing to advocate for improvements along Regional Roads Victoria-managed motorways in the region.
Roads include the Loddon Valley Hwy, Murray Valley Hwy, and other local roads identified with a ‘C2-’ prefix on maps and signage.
“These roads are important to the Gannawarra, as they connect residents and services to our major towns and other regional locations,” Mr Rollinson said.
“It is important that these roads are maintained to a level our community expects, as it will ensure ease of mind for residents and visitors alike.”
