Sunbury Road is set to close for a number of nights as works progress on the Melbourne Airport’s third runway.
Last year, works began on Sunbury Road to construct a new intersection between the Oaklands Road and Wildwood Road roundabouts to allow for the safe entry and exit of trucks and vehicles onto airport land.
The new intersection will upgrade Melbourne Airport’s Northern Access Road, which will connect with Sunbury Road in a new temporary intersection to assist with the increased construction traffic that will be heading into the airport for the construction of the third runway.
A reduced speed limit of 40km/h has been in place for the stretch of Sunbury Road since works began last year, and will continue until works are completed this year.
In February, there will be a number of night road closures between 9pm and 5am between Wildwood and Oaklands roads, with a detour in place.
The road will be closed each night from 11 February until 16 February, and will again close each night on 23 February and 24 February.
Melbourne Airport said these dates may change.
Traffic will be detoured down Wildwood Road, Somerton Road and Oaklands Road for all travellers.
Melbourne Airport said to plan ahead for your journey and expect delays during road closures.
Disruptions and road closures will be added online to the Melbourne Airport Project Hub’s website as they become available.
