Weekend closures – August 2021

From 9pm Friday 30 July until 5am Monday 2 August, and 9pm Friday 13 August until 5am Monday 16 August, the West Gate Tunnel Project team will be closing the M80 outbound ramp from the West Gate Freeway (heading west towards Geelong). This is so we can safely carry out bridge works, including demolition and beam installation.

To help keep traffic moving through the area, access to Plummer Road at Boundary Road will be closed, as well as the right turn access into Spencer Street. Access to businesses on Plummer Road will remain available via Somerleigh Road and/or Leslie Road.

Please follow all traffic controllers on site and detour signage.

To minimise disruption to road users we are doing these works over the weekend when traffic volumes are usually lower. Works are required to take place over several days to allow enough time to set-up a temporary work zone, complete the activity and re-open the M80 outbound ramp in time for Monday peak hour traffic.

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@wgta.vic.gov.au.

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 and detours. The latest traffic updates are always available at bigbuild.vic.gov.au/disruptions

Hours of work

These works will be done 24 hours a day over the weekend, from 9pm Friday 30 July to 5am Monday 2 August, and 9pm Friday 13 August to 5am Monday 16 August.

Please note that works are subject to change and could be rescheduled in the event of unexpected impacts to the construction program.
