Dear Resident

MAJOR CONSTRUCTION WORKS IN THE PORT MELBOURNE AREA FOR WEST GATE FREEWAY UPGRADE: JUNE TO OCTOBER 2016

We are writing to inform you about noisy major construction works, including bored piling, taking place in your area over the coming months as part of the CityLink Tulla Widening project. These works are in preparation to build an additional lane on the West Gate Freeway.

As you may be aware, work on the CityLink Tulla Widening project is underway and involves adding lanes and other measures to improve the flow of traffic across the 24 kilometre section of freeway from the CityLink tunnels to Melbourne Airport. The project will also provide travel time savings per trip between Melbourne Airport and the West Gate Freeway during peak periods.

Generally, an additional lane is being added in each direction, as well as upgrades at key interchanges including Bell Street, Mount Alexander Road/Flemington Road and on the Bolte Bridge to West Gate Freeway entry ramp.

CPB Contractors is the construction contractor for the Bulla Road to Power Street section of the project.

When works will occur From June to October 2016, work hours for construction will be 7am to 6pm Monday to Saturday.
