14 July 2023
Works are continuing along Maribyrnong and Lyons Streets in Footscray to build new bridges over the Maribyrnong River for the West Gate Tunnel Project. The bridges will connect the new tunnels with an elevated road above Footscray Road and provide direct access to the port at Mackenzie Road.
From Monday 31 July 2023 until late-2024 we’ll:
- Close the intersection of Maribyrnong and Lyons Street to construct piers, install concrete beams and for bridge-finishing works over the Maribyrnong River
- Maintain two-way access along Maribyrnong and Lyons Streets
- Day time closures of Lyons Street.
We’ll continue to have traffic management in place, including signage and controllers to guide traffic through the area. The map overleaf indicates the reinstated parking spaces and their access point.
We’ll continue working with local businesses to help employees, customers and visitors move safely through the area and understand their car parking options.
Please note, this work may be subject to approvals and permits, and may change due to site
and weather conditions.
