Dear Resident

CIYTLINK TULLA WIDENING: ESTABLISHING A TEMPORARY SITE COMPOUND AND CITYLINK EMERGENCY RESPONSE WAITING BAY AREA ON THE CORNER OF LORIMER AND MONTAGUE STREETS, PORT MELBOURNE

We are writing to keep you informed about the use of the vacant block of land at the corner of Lorimer Street and Montague Street, Port Melbourne as part of the CityLink Tulla Widening Project.

Previously we wrote to you on 19 November 2015 about the use of the vacant block of land to be used as a temporary site compound.

The CityLink Tulla Widening project will be using this area to store construction materials including such as pipes, steel and gravel and equipment. CityLink emergency response teams will also use this area as a waiting bay area in order to respond to traffic incidents on CityLink.

Where we will be

We will be set up on the vacant block of land at the corner of Lorimer Street and Montague Street, Port Melbourne.

Within the vacant block of land, we will set up two separate areas: the site compound area as shown in red on the map below and the CityLink emergency response waiting bay area as shown in blue on the map below.

Both areas will be used from April 2016 and will remain in place until late 2017.

When works will occur to set up site compound and waiting area

Works to set up the compound are scheduled for Wednesday 27 April to Friday 29 April 2016 between 7am to 5pm.

Night works to complete the CityLink emergency response waiting area are scheduled for Wednesday 4 and Thursday 5 May 2016 between 7pm to 5am.

In the event of unsuitable weather or other unavoidable circumstances completion, night works for the CityLink emergency response waiting area may be rescheduled for Monday 9 and Tuesday 10 May 2016 between 7pm to 5am.

About the 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 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. Once completed, the project will deliver a safer, more reliable freeway.
