Traffic Alert
Night time and weekend works for Monash Freeway, CityLink and the West Gate Bridge
Wednesday April 6 2010
Overnight and weekend roadworks on the M1 will continue this weekend and in coming weeks, with lane closures planned on sections of the Monash Freeway, CityLink, and on the West Gate Bridge.
The final stages of the M1 works include road resurfacing, bridge strengthening works and installation of traffic counting sensors beneath the road surface.
Night-time lanes closures continue on the Monash Freeway and CityLink between Warrigal Road and the Burnley Tunnel, through to Tuesday 19 April.
Day time lane closures are also planned over the next two weekends on CityLink through Toorak and Richmond, and at times on the Monash Freeway as far as Warrigal Road.
CityLink will also be closing access to the Bolte Bridge for traffic heading outbound on West Gate Freeway. The ramp will be closed all this weekend and drivers wanting to access the Bolte Bridge will need to follow a detour route via Todd Road and allow some extra time.
West Gate Bridge traffic will be affected this weekend with two lanes each-way closed overnight on Friday from around 8pm, and on Sunday night from 7pm.
With M1 works nearing completion, weekend drivers and especially footy fans heading to the MCG, Etihad Stadium and Skilled Stadium at Geelong, are advised to plan their trips, allow some extra time, and where possible to use public transport.
To avoid delays for weekday peak traffic, M1 works are programmed overnight and at weekends.
Where practical, these weekend works are scheduled to minimise impacts for traffic heading to football, and for other major events.
