Detours

Why this closure is needed
Crews will be widening and strengthening the existing bridge as part of building new connections from the West Gate Tunnel to the city and CityLink.
Carrying out works over the course of a month will enable works to be finished sooner and safely, for the local community and our crews.
Temporary closures of rail lines- impacts on Craigieburn and Upfield Metro train services

During this time, train replacement buses will operate from North Melbourne Station.Public transport users are encouraged to check before they travel by visiting the Public Transport Victoria website.
