Constructing two new walking and cycling paths
Works are continuing around Moonee Ponds Creek (MPC) to allow for the construction of two new walking and cycling paths as part of the West Gate Tunnel Project. The first crossing is located just north of the Citylink offramp and the second crossing just south of Footscray Road. The walking and cycling path will give pedestrians and cyclists a safe, express route to and from the city.
What to expect and when
From late July 2022 until Monday 5 December 2022, vegetation removal, concrete pouring, crane installation, temporary walking and cycling path diversion and piling works will be occurring intermittently during the daytime.
