We're upgrading the Eastern Freeway with new express lanes, new traffic management technology, Melbourne's first express busway and a seamless connection to North East Link.

What we're doing

As part of major upgrades to the Doncaster Road interchange, from Monday 17 August to mid September, we’ll work overnight to install the permanent traffic signals at the intersection of Doncaster Road and Gardenia/Greythorn roads. To keep traffic moving on Doncaster Road, we’ll complete these works at night under lane closures.

Works will include:

• installing the permanent traffic signals along Doncaster Road
• installing underground cables
• removing temporary concrete barriers
• laying asphalt and line marking.
