Overview

From 8pm Friday 23 July until 5am Monday 26 July, the West Gate Tunnel Project team will be closing Dohertys Road (heading east towards the city) between Gordon Luck Avenue and Grieve Parade. This is so we can add the final layer of road surface.

Access to businesses will remain available via Dohertys Road heading west – please follow all signage and direction of traffic controls on site.

To minimise the disruption to businesses and road users along Dohertys Road we have decided to do these works over one weekend when traffic volumes are usually lower, and we can get the works done quicker. We need to work during the day because for asphalt to set correctly the temperature needs to be within a certain range, and now that we're in winter, it is too cold overnight. If the weather is poor and temperatures are too cold, we will need to reschedule the works. Please follow us on Facebook or sign up to traffic updates for the latest information.

What you can expect during the works

• Work will be completed behind safety barriers with construction vehicles moving in and out of work areas
• Access to businesses will be maintained – please follow signage and direction of traffic controllers on site
• Traffic impacts, including road and lane closures on Dohertys Road. The latest traffic updates are always available at bigbuild.vic.gov.au/disruptions

To learn more about the impacts above, please don’t hesitate to give the team a call on 1800 105 105 or email us on info@wgtp.vic.gov.au.
