UNDER CONSTRUCTION

Construction impacts

M80 Ring RoadCompletion

Construction impacts, such as noise, dust and transport disruptions, are an unavoidable part of building major projects.

We properly manage these impacts in line with applicable legislation, policy and guidelines as part of the project’s comprehensive Environmental Management Framework to protect the local community and environment.

When we’ll be working

Our standard work hours are:

  • Day works 7am to 6pm, Monday to Friday, and 7am to 1pm, Saturday
  • Night works 6pm to 7am, Sunday to Friday
  • Weekend works 6pm Friday to 7am Monday

We'll carry out most of our works during the day, although some extended hours and night works will be required. When we’re required to work at night near homes and businesses, we’ll provide advance notice.

What to expect

What to expect while we are working:

  • machinery, equipment and vehicle noise, light, dust and occasional vibration at times
  • deliveries to worksites, including outside of standard work hours
  • light and heavy vehicle movements on local streets
  • closure of sections of the M80 Trail and Greensborough Bypass Trail
  • lane, ramp and road closures.

Managing construction impacts

We manage our works responsibly in line with strict project requirements including:

  • keeping residents and businesses informed when work is happening nearby
  • using clear signage and traffic controls to safely guide drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians
  • securing worksites with fencing, barriers, and safety measures
  • monitoring and managing noise, dust, and vibration levels in real time
  • minimising light spill with carefully directed lighting
  • implementing environmental controls to prevent dust and water run-off
  • containing workforce parking within designated worksites.

Keeping in touch

We regularly speak to nearby residents and businesses about these works in more detail, including how we’ll be managing any local impacts.
