Potholes Turn Commutes Into Crashes | Melbourne News

Published 2 weeks ago
Description

Regional Victoria is in meltdown over crumbling roads—potholes so brutal they’re costing drivers thousands in repairs, with one man spending $8,000 on tires and rims alone. Major highways have turned into obstacle courses, with dozens of cars breaking down after just days of rain, smashed rims and flat tires becoming the norm. Frustration is boiling over as locals feel ignored amid billions spent on Melbourne’s big projects. Opposition leaders are now touring the regions, with “fix the roads” the top question—and this isn’t just a local issue; it’s becoming a flashpoint in the next state election, exposing a deep disconnect between government priorities and the daily struggles of regional communities.
