Drivers in the western suburbs are expected to face delays of up to 30 minutes across the next three weeks, as capacity and safety works occur on freeway connections.
The outbound exit from the West Gate Freeway to the M80 Ring Road (Greensborough-bound) will close between 10pm Tuesday, November 19 and 5am Monday, December 9.
Drivers are being encouraged to plan ahead and consider using the following detours:
* Taking the earlier exit at Grieve Parade, then using Geelong, Little Boundary and Boundary roads to reach the M80.
* Continuing onto the Princes Freeway and u-turning at Kororoit Creek Road, then back-tracking to reach the M80.
* Continuing onto the Princes Freeway, exiting at Kororoit Creek Road, and using Fitzgerald Road to the M80, or Robinsons Road to reach the Western Freeway.
Overnight works will continue over the coming months, including further freeway, lane and ramp closures affecting connections between the Princes Freeway, West Gate Freeway and M80 Ring Road.
Drivers are encouraged to refer to on-road signage which will have information on closure locations, timings and the recommended detours.
The M80 capacity improvements between the Princes Freeway and Western Freeway includes the addition of a Greensborough-bound lane, the installation of a smart freeway management system and ramp signals.
