Melba Highway has reopened between Yering and Yarra Glen after closing on Wednesday 16 November due to flooding.
The Department of Transport (DoT) confirmed the section of road between Macintyre Lane and Healesville-Yarra Glen Road has been assessed and reopened to drivers.
A reduced speed limit has been put in place because of some excess water still on the road.
The closure came just eight days after it reopened from a closure that was in place for almost two weeks.
Motorists are still urged to take care while driving this stretch of road and to observe signage in place.
On Wednesday, the DoT released a notice regarding the current road situation across Victoria.
“The road network has suffered significant damage during the October/November flooding with large potholes and sections of road destroyed. Crews across Victoria have mobilised and have assessed more than 3,200 roads and have repaired more than 75,100 potholes,” it said.
“We are continuing to prioritise repairs where damage is a safety issue. Our structural engineers have inspected almost 800 bridges and structures across the network, while Department of Transport representatives are continuing twice daily inspections of the network and delivering emergency repairs where they’re needed most.”
Real-time traffic conditions are available at traffic.vicroads.vic.gov.au or via the VicTraffic mobile app.
