I'm coming from North Melbourne, Docklands or West Melbourne and want to get to the M80 Ring Road or Princes Freeway. What are my route options?

You’ll have a choice between a tolled or untolled route.

Tolled route using the new West Gate Tunnel
  • Follow the signs at Dynon Road, Footscray Road or Wurundjeri Way to the West Gate Tunnel.
  • Exit the tunnel just past Williamstown Road
  • Use the right lane and follow the signs for the M80 Ring Road to continue to the M80 Interchange
  • Use the left lanes and follow the signs for the M1 Geelong to get to the Princes Freeway.
Untolled route using the West Gate Bridge

You can continue to use the West Gate Bridge for travel from the city to the west just as you do now.

  • Enter the West Gate Freeway near Montague Street
  • Travel over the West Gate Bridge.
  • Follow signs directly over the lane you are in towards Geelong or Ballarat.
