Residents in the west and north-west are being asked to prepare for disruptions during the next few months as the state government starts major road upgrades in Deer Park, Footscray and Sunbury.
The government announced on Friday (26 August) that the level crossing at Robinsons Rd, Deer Park, would be “gone for good”,on Monday 12 September.
Robinsons Rd will be closed from 9pm Friday 2 September to 5am Monday 12 September to carry out work ahead of the underpass opening.
The dangerous and congested Gap Rd level crossing, in Sunbury, will also be replaced with a new underpass. Disruptions are expected on the Sunbury rail line for two weekends, from Friday 30 September and Friday 14 October.
As part of the West Gate Freeway widening, the Millers Rd interchange would also be upgraded. Road and lane closures on Millers Rd, and freeway ramp closures from the West Gate Freeway to Millers Rd are also expected in September and October.
Works will also continue on the elevated road above Footscray Rd that will link the West Gate Tunnels to Citylink and the city. There will be weekend and overnight closures of Footscray Rd, in September, October and November.
