M80 Ring Road and Princes Freeway interchange bridge repair works

Update - October 2026

We’re undertaking bridge repairs on the ramp from the M80 Ring Road to the Princes Freeway towards Geelong, after a truck rollover caused extensive damage. This includes replacing damaged safety barriers, strengthening parts of the bridge structure and other general repairs on the bridge.

Overnight closures have commenced to shift traffic barriers and change line marking so that the bridge repair works can be undertaken safely with traffic flowing. While the bridge repair works are underway, there will be a 24/7 single lane closure in place.

When to expect us

Works commenced on Thursday 15 October 2026 and are expected to be completed in late November 2026.  

Please note, dates and times are subject to change depending on weather conditions.

What to expect

Overnight closures

• The ramp from the M80 Ring Road to the Princes Freeway towards Geelong will be closed overnight between 9pm and 5.30am on Friday 16 October and between 9pm and 4.30am on Sunday 18 October 2026,
  • There will be a signed detour via Boundary Road and Little Boundary Road.
  • Drivers entering the M80 Ring Road from the Boundary Road will need to detour via the West Gate Freeway, Millers Road and Princes Highway.

Ongoing single lane closures

• A 24/7 single lane closure and reduced 40km/h speed limit is now in place on the ramp from the M80 Ring Road to the Princes Freeway towards Geelong and will remain until late November while crews fix the bridge.
