What do I need to do?
Plan ahead before your journey by checking out our traffic and alerts page or the Victorian Government’s Big Build website for detour routes.
| Travelling northbound to Melbourne Airport between 8 – 11 December? Take the West Gate Bridge and M80 Ring Road and follow signs to the airport. Delays are expected around CityLink at Footscray Road, so plan your journey in advance and check traffic conditions before you head out. |
Why is this happening?
The West Gate Tunnel Project will be installing steel beams over CityLink as part of building new road connections between the west, the north and the city.
Crews will be lifting huge pieces of steel into place to form the base of the new road connection between CityLink and the elevated motorway above Footscray Road.
The new ramps, bridges and road space crews are building in this area will help drivers with more options and route choices for getting between the west, the north and the city.
