As part of the West Gate Tunnel Project, we’re continuing to build new bridges over the Maribyrnong River. These bridges will support the main carriageway and the entry and exit ramps from Mackenzie Road to the new West Gate Tunnel.
What to expect and when
As part of construction of the new bridges, there will continue to be intermittent full closures of the Maribyrnong River south of Shepherd Bridge during the day. These closures are required so that we can safely install bridge segments as part of the construction of the new bridges.
If river access is required, please contact the East Zone team at 1800 105 105, or via email at Info@wgta.vic.gov.au and they will be able to work with you to help facilitate access, where possible.
| Impact | Date |
|---|---|
River closure This section of the river will not be accessible when the closure is in place. | Intermittently until August 2024 |
If the weather is poor or there are any unexpected events, we may need to reschedule these works.
For more info on closure dates please visit Victoria's Big Build Disruptions Map.
