Upcoming works on the West Gate Freeway
The West Gate Tunnel Project is ramping up works as tunnel opening is in sight, with a weekend of lane and ramp closures required for crews to dismantle a 50-metre-high tower crane near the tunnel’s outbound exit.
The massive crane was instrumental in lifting the architectural cladding into place on the tunnel exit structure.
There will be a weekend of 24/7 lanes and ramp closures with delays of up to 30 minutes.
