A Road to Ruin: The Scandal of Victoria's Potholed Highways The death of a 71 year old motorbike rider on Sunday has highlighted the shocking state of Victoria's roads, particularly in regional and rural areas.
The Western Highway near Trawalla Road is a hazard waiting to happen due to dozens of potholes that have been reported for years.
Investigations are ongoing, but it's clear that the government's response to these concerns has been inadequate. Local resident Katherine pointed out that even when repairs are made, they often don't last.
