NSW to begin $200m pothole blitz across greater Sydney

The NSW government said this morning it will fast-track $200m in spending to fix potholes and maintain roads across the Sydney region.

We know how frustrating it is for drivers to deal with damaged roads and potholes, especially after one of Sydney's wettest winters on record. This $200 million blitz will help make sure our roads are safer and more reliable, while supporting the crews who are already working hard every day to keep Sydney moving.
