Holidaymakers have been warned to prepare for 90-minute delays across Melbourne’s road network while maintenance crews work on the West Gate Bridge.
A series of major road works has been planned to start on Monday night, December 26.
Delays of more than 90 minutes are expected on the West Gate Freeway between the city and the bridge, as well as on city-bound lanes of the Monash Freeway, the Domain Tunnel and at the Bolte Bridge/CityLink.Joe Armao Motorists heading to Melbourne Airport will face lengthy delays if they take the Monash and Domain Tunnel to the Bolte Bridge and CityLink. Instead, VicRoads said they should drive to the Tullamarine Freeway through the eastern and northern suburbs via Mt Alexander Road, Brunswick Road or Bell Street.
Train travel will then be disrupted for two weeks from January 2, while the City Loop closes to install new fire safety systems. Flagstaff, Melbourne Central and Parliament stations will be shut and trains will only stop at Flinders Street and Southern Cross.Elsewhere on the train network, buses will replace trains between Parliament and Heidelberg on the Hurstbridge Line on weekdays from 8.30pm from January 2 to 13, and between Camberwell and Alamein on the Alamein line from January 2 to 15.
