Major Changes to West Gate Freeway in October 2009
Major traffic switches will take place on the first two weekends in October 2009, with new ramps and road areas being made available in both directions on the West Gate Freeway. These changes will have a significant impact to the way individuals drive on the freeway. A flyer has been delivered to resident mailboxes.
Of particular importance to Port Melbourne residents, the Montague Street eastbound entry-ramp (heading into the CityLink Tunnels) will reopen on Monday 5 October 2009. Please note that drivers will no longer to able to get on at Kings Way and get off at Montague Street (and vice versa).
