First we’ll rebuild the road in the middle, then shift traffic and work on the sections people are currently driving on.

🚨 Drivers are now heading over brand new roads on the West Gate Freeway, including a brand new outbound ramp that will carry traffic alongside the future tunnel exit. Moving traffic onto new lanes creates the space needed for crews to continue to widen the freeway from 8 to 12 through lanes. 🎥 Take a look at the new lane alignment on the freeway, and note: drivers don’t need to change their journeys as the lanes will still direct you along the freeway as normal. | West Gate Tunnel Project
