Road Network Updates
Port of Melbourne will deliver a $21 million roads program over a five year period improving road user experience and increasing safety throughout each of the Port precincts.
Following an extensive road audit in 2023 design development and delivery of improvement works will be rolled out in packages over a five-year period, through to FY29.
Road safety is a key focus area for Port of Melbourne and these works aim to ensure our roads are safe and accessible for both passenger and heavy vehicle use.

In December 2025, overnight line marking will be undertaken along Enterprize Road, Swanson Dock. For the safety of workers, traffic management will be in place.
Speed Limit Reduction – Swanson Dock Precinct
Port of Melbourne has undertaken work to reduce the speed limit in the Swanson Dock Precinct, so the speed limit will be 40km in the Webb Dock, Swanson Dock and Appleton Dock Precincts.
Traffic signalling programming assessments are underway to ensure intersections continue to operate in a safe and efficient manner.
We are working towards installing signage in the Swanson Dock Precinct, showing 40km speed limits, when traffic signal network programming and phasing is finalised.
