Works reminder

Work to widen the West Gate Freeway and upgrade the Millers Road interchange is progressing, with a significant amount of work completed during the recent Spring road works campaign.

We will continue to work on these important upgrades and below is a summary of the activities you can expect in the area from mid-December and through the summer months:

• installing brackets on to the bridge above the Millers Road interchange to complete strengthening works
• removing scaffolding from the Millers Road interchange, once we have strengthened the bridge above
• installing temporary support structures on Millers Road so that we can install beams
• pour concrete onto newly installed beams to join them together and continue widening the freeway in the centre
• closing Millers Road in both directions (under the West Gate Freeway) and the inbound entry ramp nightly from 9pm to 5am. Fully signed detour routes will be in place during closures

Hours of work

Our usual hours of work are Monday to Friday between 7am-6pm, and Saturdays between 7am-1pm. However, for the activities mentioned above, we will need to work at night, between 9pm and 5am. This is so we can close roads and ramps to give us the space needed to work safely

What to expect during these works

• Ongoing night works to progress strengthening and widening works.
• Construction vehicles including forklifts, elevating work platforms and cranes.
• Works taking place up to seven days a week, including nightworks from 9pm to 5am.
• Construction noise from work activities including machinery and trucks
• Water spray trucks and road sweepers will be used to manage dust and dirt during works
• Pedestrian access will always be maintained. Please follow instructions of traffic controllers on site
• Traffic changes including lane and road closures will be required. Signed detours will be in place.
