Overview
Construction is now complete with the opening of a new Greensborough-bound lane between the Princes and Western freeways. Over the coming months, there’ll be some closures in place while we commission the newly smart freeway management system to provide real-time information for drivers using the M80 Ring Road.
We’re also:
- upgraded road safety barriers
- resurfaced the Greensborough-bound road lanes
- applied new road markings
- installed new overhead signage
- Installed new ramp signals
- upgraded the Princes Freeway entry ramp to the M80 Ring Road.
Construction started in early August 2024 and was completed in April 2025. The smart freeway management system will be commissioned by late 2025. When the West Gate Tunnel Project opens in 2025, and with the already completed sections of the M80 Upgrade, these additional capacity improvements will improve traffic flow and incident management on the M80 Ring Road to ensure safer and more reliable journeys.
