Major works this spring

As part of Victoria’s Big Build, the West Gate Tunnel is nearing completion and work continues to widen the West Gate Freeway from 8 to 12 lanes. Tunnelling continues on North East Link and upgrades are underway on the Eastern Freeway and M80 Ring Road.

Works continue to remove dangerous and congested level crossings, while road upgrades are in progress across the north and south east as part of Big Build Roads. Early work continues to prepare for tunnelling on Suburban Rail Loop East, while Yarra Trams track renewal will take place on various routes across the tram network.

These works will cause delays on key roads and surrounding areas. Be sure to plan ahead, allow extra time or take an alternative route if possible.
