Burnley Tunnel Upgrade Project
Keeping Melbourne moving
Over the coming months, we'll be giving the Burnley Tunnel a major makeover to improve the traffic flow and make your trips quicker.
Among the changes, we’ll be installing Australian-first state-of-the-art pacemaker lighting to encourage drivers to maintain a consistent speed.
We’ll also be painting the tunnel walls and transforming the lighting with colourful, more energy efficient LEDs, to create a brighter, more open looking tunnel.
Project updates
From Sunday 19 June until September, there will be double lane closures in the Burnley Tunnel six nights a week. From Sunday – Thursday, works will occur between 8pm – 5am, with a longer closure every Saturday from 11pm – 8am.
Drive with care through our work areas
Take care driving through the tunnel during our works. Remember to obey lowered speed limits and on-road signage in our work areas. These safety measures are in place to keep our crews and drivers safe.
