Jaala Pulford Minister for Roads has today announced $57.4 million was being invested into rebuilding, resurfacing and repairing around 220 kilometres of roads across the region.
The upgrades will include parts of the Princes Highway, South Gippsland Highway, Bass Highway, Korumburra-Inverloch Road, Maryvale Road, Foster-Promontory Road and Rosedale-Longford Road.
