DEPARTMENT of Transport has multiple maintenance projects across the Loddon in the planning stages.
A 4.59km section of the Calder Highway at Woosang has been listed for attention by the department as has 1km at Wedderburn, 1.43km at Kurting and 3.16km at Derby.
The Derby section is near where the department wants to construct south-bound passing lanes, the first on the Calder Highway north of Bendigo.
A planning application to remove trees on the Calder Highway for a passing lane is before Loddon Shire Council.
Future plans include a north-bound passing lane.
The department says its planned maintenance works will provide a “smoother, safer and more reliable journey for road users”.
Similar work is in planning stages for a 2.34km section of the Loddon Valley Highway at Jarklin and 3.32km at Durham Ox with a small section at Gladfield to be have maintenance treatment.
Maintenance is also being planned for Durham Ox-Boort Road and Boort-Kerang Road and two sections of the Loddon Valley Highway at Loddon Vale.
A 2.28km stretch of the Bridgewater-Serpentine Road also appears on the planning list.
Wimmera Highway works have started realigning the intersection at Newbridge while works are also planned at Cochranes Creek and Kooreh.
Sections of Glossop Street, Mitiamo, also appear on the latest planning information from the department.
No timelines have been released for the maintenance projects.
