We’re upgrading the Eastern Freeway with new express lanes, new Eastern Busway, smart technology and a connection to North East Link – slashing travel times and improving travel in Melbourne’s east.

What we're doing

In late March and April, we’ll build a temporary construction access into the work site at Junction Road Reserve and widen the existing Springvale Road city-bound entry ramp onto the Eastern Freeway.

To safely build the access and widen the ramp, we’ll work around the clock from:

• 9pm, Friday 27 March to 5am, Monday 30 March
• 10pm, Wednesday 8 April to 11.59pm, Friday 24 April
• 9pm, Friday 1 May to 5am, Monday 4 May

Building direct access to our work site and compound at Junction Road Reserve will help limit the number of construction vehicles using local roads.

Works include:

• installing and adjusting temporary traffic barriers
• noise wall removal
• removal of existing kerb and asphalt
• earthworks and pavement construction
• relocation of existing drainage
• building a temporary construction access into the work site at Junction Road Reserve
• installing asphalt along the widened freeway entry ramp.

Where and when

24-hour and night works

Junction Road Reserve, Springvale Road, Nunawading

We'll work during the day and night within Junction Road Reserve and on the Springvale Road city-bound entry ramp.

What to expect

• Moderate to high levels of noise, dust and vibration during works
• Large numbers of construction vehicles, heavy machinery, equipment and workers in the area
• Use of directional lighting when working at night
• Closure of Springvale Road city-bound entry ramp with detours in place

Managing impacts

We carefully manage our works in line with the project's strict environmental performance requirements including:

• scheduling noisier works during the day
• Installing temporary fencing to mitigate against noise impacts
• monitoring noise and vibration levels with real time monitoring
• minimising light spill with targeted lighting
• preventing dust and water runoff with environmental barriers.
