North East Link Program is building a new interchange at Bulleen Road that will connect an upgraded Eastern Freeway to the 6.5km North East Link tunnels in Bulleen.

To create the space for new ramps and the interchange, North East Link Program is building a diversion at Bulleen Road.

From late May there will be long term changes to how you access Bulleen Road and local areas.

Bulleen Road will be closed between Thompsons Road and Carey Bulleen Sports Complex in both directions from 7.30pm on Friday 24 May until 5.30am on Monday 27 May.

A detour will be in place via Thompsons and Manningham roads to keep you moving.

Lane closures along Thompsons Road will be required at times.

Access to local schools, clubs and sporting grounds will remain open as they complete these works.

From 5.30am on Monday 27 May, traffic will move onto the new Bulleen Road diversion, subject to weather conditions.
