Working in the West Gate Bridge median:
- It’s a safety requirement that all person/s working on the bridge deck, above the steel section must walk within the painted lines of the median to avoid risk with the live traffic on the bridge in the fast lanes
- The lines indicate the maximum deflection of the steel barrier in the event that it was hit by a vehicle. By staying within these lines you are protected from serious injury
- No work to be conducted outside the median without lane closures in place
- Any other works will require lane closures
- Guidelines are available for working in median during periods of high wind
