The Victorian Government is continuing work on the North East Link (NEL) project. As the work progresses, there will be disruptions to the Eastern Freeway and nearby roads. We encourage you to:

• check for the latest updates on Victoria’s Big Build website
• plan ahead during closures
• seek alternative routes and allow extra time.

During closure:

• Delays of up to 90 minutes are expected during peak times and motorists are encouraged to avoid the area.
