Transport workers in Victoria are warned that there will be multiple lanes closed on the Monash Freeway at Forster Road from 7pm tonight until 5am, Monday November 29.
Planned works as part of the Stage 2 Monash freeway upgrade include a closure of the Monash Freeway inbound between Stud and Ferntree Gully roads, ramp closures on EastLink, Peninsula Link, as well as the Monash and West Gate freeways.
Users are encouraged to detour via the Forster Road entry and exit ramps. Note – Forster Road will be closed underneath the freeway bridge.
Up to date information on works and road closures can be found at bigbuild.vic.gov.au or VicTraffic
Due for completion in 2022, the Stage 2 upgrades will add 36kms of new lanes on the Monash and Princes Freeways, between Warrigal Road and EastLink outbound, EastLink to Springvale Road inbound and Clyde Road to Cardinia Road, in both directions.
As well as connecting Police Road to the freeway with an outbound on-ramp, it will also connect the Jacksons Road outbound ramps directly to EastLink with a separate road.
Smart, on-road technology will also be installed across the project, including extending the lane-use management system from the South Gippsland Freeway to Beaconsfield interchange.
