ROAD closures connected with the West Gate Tunnel Project in Melbourne are to impact freight movements.
According to a statement from the Port of Melbourne, there will be “significant” lane closures on Footscray Road from Thursday (12 January) through 27 June.
Initially from 12 January until 5 April, all east-bound lanes on Footscray Road will be closed between Dock Link Road and Appleton Dock Road.
Port of Melbourne said access to the port would be maintained during this time through Mackenzie Road, Dock Link Road and Appleton Dock Road.
“Wharf carriers and cargo owners should note that there is the potential for delays in the public road network surrounding the port, when seeking to access Footscray Road during this time, due to traffic diversions being put in place by the West Gate Tunnel Project,” the port said.
