The ramp on the northern side of the freeway will provide a new exit ramp for inbound traffic from the West Gate Freeway to Hyde Street. The ramp on the southern side of the freeway will provide a new entry ramp for westbound traffic from Hyde Street to the West Gate Freeway.

Trucks carrying dangerous goods, or overheight trucks that can’t travel in tunnels, will also be able to avoid residential streets by using the new ramps to connect to the port and fuel depots on Hyde Street.
