Western Ring Road Accident Today – All Greensborough-bound lanes of the M80 Ring Road are currently closed between Dalton Road and Plenty Road due to a serious collision involving a pedestrian.
The incident, which occurred earlier today, has necessitated the complete shutdown of these lanes as Victoria Police conduct a thorough investigation.
Motorists heading towards Greensborough are advised to exit the M80 at Dalton Road and use Settlement Road before re-entering the freeway at Plenty Road.
Alternatively, drivers can exit earlier at Edgars Road and take Mahoneys Road as a detour. The condition of the pedestrian involved is currently unknown as few details were made available at the time of this report.
Despite the closure of the Greensborough-bound lanes, Altona-bound lanes of the M80 Ring Road remain open, allowing traffic to continue in that direction. Victoria Police are overseeing the situation and have stated that the road will remain closed until their investigations are complete and it is deemed safe to reopen.
Authorities are urging drivers to plan their routes accordingly and expect delays in the affected areas. Updates will be provided as more information becomes available. Motorists are encouraged to stay informed through local traffic reports and the VicRoads website for the latest developments.
