Eastern Freeway upgrade ramps up


The Victorian Government is getting ready for a massive program of works on the Eastern Freeway that will see major traffic changes over the next few months.

From 10pm, 4 February until mid-March, outbound lanes will be separated between Burke and Bulleen Roads.

Motorists travelling from the city towards Ringwood and Dandenong, are encouraged to use the right lanes as they approach Burke Road to continue on the Eastern Freeway outbound.

Motorists travelling outbound to take the Bulleen Road exit will need to stay in the left lanes after Burke Road. The same number of lanes will be open, however will be split in a two-by-two-lane configuration. If drivers miss the Bulleen Road exit, they can use the next exit at Doncaster Road to get back on track. 

Electronic signs and road markings will be in place to direct motorists, who are asked to drive safely and choose their lane early to avoid making last-minute lane changes. 

As part of a six-week program, crews will complete asphalting, mark new lines and carry out profiling works behind barriers to construct new express lanes. Work for new traffic management technology, sewer lines, and drainage will also be carried out. 

In March, crews will switch their focus to the other side of the Eastern Freeway, splitting the citybound carriageway in two to carry out similar works. There will be no changes to ramp access to freeway entry and exit ramps during this split. 

Throughout 2025, a massive amount of work will continue to build 45kms of new lanes and to connect the freeway with the North East Link tunnels.
