John Kennedy said after even modest rainfall two depressions in the left-hand inbound lane filled with runoff water.
‘‘Some years ago, I witnessed a car losing control after hitting the ponded water and narrowly avoid a head-on collision,’’ Mr Kennedy said.
‘‘At least three years on there are two depressed sections where the ponded water extends the full width of the inbound lane.
‘‘I regularly see vehicles aquaplane or just about lose control on hitting the ponded water.’’
‘‘So before there is a fatal result, can VicRoads, whose responsibility this section of the GV Hwy is, investigate and fix both problem sections of the road.’’
Regional Roads Victoria northern operations manager Matt Gard said crews regularly carried out inspections across the entire network and would look into the section on the GV Hwy.
‘‘With the wintery weather here we’re reminding everyone to drive to conditions, stick to the speed limit and leave plenty of room between them and the car in front,’’ he said.
If anyone notices a hazard on the road network, contact Regional Roads Victoria on 133 RRV (778).
A previous letter to the editor suggested Mitchell Shire Council could be responsible for the section of road.
Mitchell Shire have advised the section of road is the responsibility of VicRoads.
