'The extraordinary extent of damage to the state's roads is slowly being
revealed as floodwater starts to recede across regional Victoria.
The damage bill to fix and re-open Victoria's road network won't be known until
floodwater completely subsides, with a significant number of roads and bridges
still under water.
Reports of potholes "the size of cars" emerged within hours of the most
significant rain falling on Thursday.
Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews on Monday said the government would spend $165
million on an "emergency road repair blitz" to find and fix the potholes that
could be accessed safely.
"There'll need to be more funding beyond that, this is an initial funding
amount of money and it will underpin those emergency repairs," Mr Andrews
said.'
