Major Road Patching Underway in Strathbogie Shire

Strathbogie Shire is set to undertake major road patching on several local roads throughout August and September in preparation for resealing next year.

The patching works will take place on Creightons Creek Road, Euroa-Strathbogie Road, Spring Creek Road, and Merton-Strathbogie Road.

The works, which total nearly $718,000 (including GST), are part of Council’s 2023-24 Capital Works budget.

Administrator Peter Stephenson acknowledged that these roads had been earmarked as part of the 2023-24 Capital Works program.

‘It is essential that we prioritise safety across our 2,214 km road network, and we recognise that these sealed roads require extensive patching on the failed sections,’ he said.

‘Like everyone, I am aware of the potholes and poor road conditions across Victoria. However, we are focusing this year’s budget on repairing these critical roads, which are heavily used by both cars and major transport.’

The roads will remain open to traffic during the patching works, with appropriate traffic management in place.

Mr. Stephenson expects the works to be completed by the end of September, weather permitting, with resealing scheduled for early next year.
