There is plenty going on at the moment as part of Victoria’s Big Build, with numerous traffic disruptions across the state over coming months.
Among the major works are the West Gate Tunnel project to widen the West Gate Freeway from 8 to 12 lanes, which is nearing completion.
Works are continuing to remove dangerous and congested level crossings; and road upgrades are in progress across the south east as part of Big Build Roads.
Tunnelling also continues on North East Link and work is underway to upgrade the Eastern Freeway and M80 Ring Road. Major construction has begun to prepare for tunnelling on Suburban Rail Loop East.
Transport Victoria says these works will cause delays on key roads and surrounding areas, with motorists encouraged to plan ahead, allow extra time or take an alternative route if possible.
