West Gate Tunnel works continue as crews prepare to asphalt the new freeway and continue construction on the tunnel exit structure to prepare the West Gate Freeway for completion later this year.
Ramp closures will occur between the West Gate Bridge and Millers Road until Saturday, 8 March.
These works will deliver permanent road barriers, additional signage and smoother roads – along with new inbound express lanes that will run between the M80 Ring Road and the West Gate Bridge.

The West Gate Tunnel Project will deliver a vital alternative to the West Gate Bridge, widening the West Gate Freeway from 8 to 12 lanes and taking 9,000 trucks a day off local roads.
The West Gate Freeway will be reduced to three lanes in both directions between Williamstown Road and Millers Road.
There will also be ramp closures in place at the West Gate Freeway outbound exit ramps to Millers Road and Grieve Parade – drivers who usually exit the freeway at Millers Road or Grieve Parade will need to exit early at Williamstown Road.
