We’re completing the M80 Ring Road, delivering new lanes from Plenty Road to Watsonia, including a seamless connection to the North East Link tunnels, taking up to 15,000 trucks off local roads a day.

What you need to know

Major work is continuing on Grimshaw Street from July through to mid 2027, as we build an upgraded Grimshaw Street Interchange.

During this time, we’ll also complete essential utility and finishing works on the west side of the Grimshaw Street interchange. Grimshaw Street will be closed between Macorna Street and the Greensborough Bypass over a weekend, with detours in place to keep motorists and pedestrians moving safely.

In July, Grimshaw Street will be closed temporarily between Macorna Street and the Greensborough Bypass for one weekend as we complete essential utility and finishing works to complete the west side of the Grimshaw Street Interchange. Local access will be maintained.

In August, we'll close Grimshaw Street overnight on a weekend between the Greensborough Bypass and William Street to install signage gantries.

In September, the way you travel through the Greensborough Bypass, Greensborough Highway and Grimshaw Street intersection will change.

Temporary signalised U-turns will be introduced to maintain traffic flow while crews excavate the new express lanes for the North East Link tunnels and build the new Grimshaw Street bridge. This travel arrangement will be in place until mid 2027.

To prepare, there will be a weekend closure across key approaches to the intersection. Grimshaw Street intersection will be closed between Fyre Street and the Greensborough Bypass, and between Greensborough Road and the Greensborough Bypass for one weekend as we continue upgrading Grimshaw Street.
