Building the new bridges over the Maribyrnong River
As part of the West Gate Tunnel Project, we’re building new bridges over the Maribyrnong River. These bridges will support the main carriageway and the entry and exit ramps from Mackenzie Road to the West Gate Tunnel.
What to expect and when
As part of construction of the new bridges, there will be intermittent full closures of the Maribyrnong River south of Shepherd Bridge during the day. These closures are required in order to construct the bridges ensuring the safety of river users.
