WEST GATE FWY CLOSED inbound between Power St and Burnley Tunnel entry portal (fatal pedestrian collision). Diversions via Power St into CBD. Tunnel is OPEN, incorrect media reporting. Traffic stopped from Montague St. Obey overhead gantries and authorities #MelbTraffic

Long lines of traffic across Melbourne now, Friday into a long weekend. Shocking 1+ hour travel times inbound on the Monash just from Warrigal Rd and outbound on the West Gate to Duncans Rd. Nasty accidents: Narre Warren N Rd, Ring Road/Ballarat Rd and North Rd (Cranbourne S).

No significant accidents on the system, believe it or not. Some good news. Beware of speeds down on the Ring Road at the West Gate, after that rollover on Sunday causing delays. Also crews were on the Hume at Donnybrook Rd on camera earlier doing rubbish collecting #MelbTraffic

Eastern Fwy out of town very slow Belford Rd to Doncaster Rd. Ring Road stop/start Tulla to the Hume. Hume congested to Cooper St. Pen Link crawling past Frankston-Dandenong Rd #MelbTraffic

Monash is heavy outbound from St Kevs down to Wellington Rd. Inbound stopped from High St, avoid at all costs. 🔴50min🔴 just from Warrigal Rd through the tunnel #MelbTraffic

West Gate just as bad citybound from the Ring Road all the way into the tunnel, also following an earlier accident #MelbTraffic

West Gate already shot outbound, from Tooronga Rd (on the Monash) all the way over the Bridge, following an earlier incident. You're looking at a painful travel time of over 1 hour🔴 (just from Toorak Rd to the Ring Road), delay your journey or find an alternative #MelbTraffic

Alright, here we go. Friday afternoon into a long weekend, expect heavier than normal conditions. Please be courteous, drive to conditions and obey all road rules and directions. Already started getting very busy at midday #MelbTraffic

MONASH FWY Rubber neckers pissing me off just looking at it and I'm sure even more the drivers sitting in the congestion. Motorcyclist on the shoulder at Wellington Rd outbound, Police and Ambulance with flashing lights on. Delays pushed back past Blackburn Rd #MelbTraffic

Incident on the centre median, Western Ring Road heading out of town above the West Gate Fwy, Police walking around and flashing lights, a truck pulled over and a couple of other vehicles from what I can see. Minor queuing on the ramp behind. #MelbTraffic
