Upcoming works on the West Gate Freeway
As we enter the third year of construction on the West Gate Freeway upgrade, drivers will start to see significant changes in the road network. As part of the staged construction process, new ramps and sections of road will become available to the travelling public, including the new structures around Montague Street.
Major traffic switches will take place on the first two weekends in October, with new ramps and road areas being made available in both directions on the West Gate Freeway. These traffic shifts will allow the West Gate Freeway Alliance to begin work on some of the asphalt resurfacing and structural maintenance activities on the existing freeway, with the new ramps being used to carry traffic while these extensive roadworks are being carried out.
Throughout October, November and December 2009 major resurfacing works will take place overnight and at weekends between Montague Street and the CityLink tunnels, with substantial traffic management measures to be implemented – including a number of partial and full closures of the freeway. Further asphalt works will also take place towards the western end of the project in early 2010.
For details of all these works keep an eye on the project website, www.m1upgrade.com.au, or call the project enquiry line on 1300 88 11 37.
