We’re building the new M80 Ring Road Interchange in Greensborough and Watsonia North, with express lanes to the North East Link tunnels.
We’ve started building the new M80 Ring Road Interchange in Greensborough, with express lanes to the North East Link tunnels and connections for local trips.
We’re removing the traffic lights at the existing M80 Ring Road intersection to ease congestion and slash travel times.
The new interchange will seamlessly connect the M80 Ring Road to the Greensborough Bypass, an upgraded Greensborough Road, and will add express lanes to the new North East Link Tunnels in Watsonia.
The M80 Ring Road Interchange design minimises the height of ramps and overpass bridges to mitigate visual and noise impacts to the residents.
Five new lanes and smart technology from Plenty Road to a new M80 Ring Road Interchange will also deliver faster, safer trips for drivers.
Works in the area will increase significantly as we continue to build the new interchange and extra lanes on the M80 Ring Road and Greensborough Bypass.
What’s coming up?
Following works on the M80 Ring Road and Greensborough Bypass in September, we’ve:
- moved traffic onto new lanes in sections along the M80 Ring Road and Greensborough Bypass
- relocated the existing traffic lights at the M80 Interchange, making space to continue works behind barriers
- built a new temporary intersection, closer to the Macorna Street walking and cycling bridge.
Drivers now use new lanes for the first time along the M80 Ring Road and Greensborough Bypass.
With changes to the way you travel to Altona-bound or Greensborough-bound, please look out for destination signs earlier on your journey.
What's next?
Works continue on the M80 Ring Road between Plenty Road and Greensborough Bypass while we move lanes to open up new areas to continue construction of the new interchange.
From October to mid-December, crews will work along the M80 Ring Road Greensborough-bound to make room for new work areas and to move traffic onto new lanes between Plenty Road and Greensborough Bypass.
