WORKS were underway last week to improve the surface on a section of the Bridgewater-Maldon Road.
Department of Transport said work between Calder Highway and Fantasy Road was expected to take two days.
The section is one of several in poor condition between Bridgewater and Newbridge since before the October flood emergency.
Department of Transport also said this week that crews had been able to complete short-term emergency works on the Bendigo-Pyramid Road between Dingee and Raywood following the floods event to get the road re-open.
A spokesman said the road was now being assessed to plan for larger-scale, long-term repairs.
He said: “In response to the October floods, the Victorian Government also announced a $165 million emergency road repair blitz - crews have patched more than 101,500 potholes across Victoria to date.
“Under this package, we’ve also commenced work on delivering larger-scale repairs, including road rebuilding, asphalt patching, structural repairs and cleaning and repairing roadside drains.
“Drivers are asked to observe road and warning signs currently in place in flood affected locations and take extra care when travelling through the area.”
