Midland Highway, Benalla–Mansfield
Rikkie-Lee TYRRELL (Northern Victoria) (17:31): (1966) My adjournment this evening is for the Minister for Roads and Road Safety, and the action I seek is for the Midland Highway between Benalla and Mansfield to be repaired. My constituent Darren recently contacted me about the appalling condition of the Midland Highway between Benalla and Dobson Road, approximately 8 kilometres heading towards Mansfield. Darren has counted at least 40 potholes in this section of road, with most measuring 400 millimetres and 100 millimetres deep. Darren says he has witnessed vehicles swerving to miss these potholes, some even crossing onto the wrong side of the road to do so. This makes for very dangerous conditions for drivers, with many who use this road to travel to Mansfield. Darren has reported to me that he knows of a number of motorcycles and other vehicles damaged by these potholes. So, Minister, the action I seek is for the Midland Highway between Benalla and Mansfield to be repaired.
