EastLink disruptions
July 27th, 2026
Both EastLink tunnels to close for maintenance
Saturday night 15 August (8pm to 7am)
EastLink (including the Melba and Mullum Mullum tunnels) will be closed in both directions between Springvale Rd and Canterbury Rd. Ringwood Bypass will also be closed in both directions between Ringwood St and Maroondah Hwy.
IMPORTANT: The Eastern Freeway will also be closed in both directions on the same weekend for upgrade works
This means that during this tunnel closure, citybound traffic will not be able to access the Eastern Freeway, and will need to seek an alternative route.
