CITYLINK TULLA WIDENING: MOONEE PONDS CREEK BRIDGE WIDENING, MOONEE PONDS / BRUNSWICK WEST

We are writing to inform you about major construction works that will take place over the coming months in your area as part of the CityLink Tulla Widening project.

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.

The project will deliver a safer, more reliable freeway. 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.
