Road Closures and Traffic Alerts
The Road Closures and Traffic Alerts web application is a fully interactive map which shows the exact location and length of a road closure. As well as providing information about road closures during emergencies, it also includes information about other on-road hazards, such as crashes and breakdowns.

VicRoads is the single official source of road information during emergencies. This includes communicating information about local roads impacted by flood or fire.

New features of the 'Road Closures and Traffic Alerts' web application include:

  • Fully accessible on smartphones and web-enabled mobile phones
  • Updated 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
  • User-friendly Google Maps interface
  • Option to limit view to a certain region or municipality
  • Accurate point-to-point closure and incident information

VicTraffic iPhone application
VicTraffic is Victoria’s first real-time traffic iPhone application. VicTraffic is free, easy to use and will help road users plan their trips on Victoria’s freeway and main roads network.

VicTraffic features:
  • Travel times on Melbourne’s freeways and various major roads
  • Incidents or alerts across Victoria
  • Live traffic images from 40 cameras around Melbourne


Go to the iTunes Store to downloand the VicTraffic app

VicTraffic features two options never before seen in Australia.

  1. My Routes: allows you to create favourite routes such as 'work to home' or 'home to school' by adding roads that you use along that route.  In one step, you will be able to see travel times for those routes. In the coming weeks, My Routes will show incidents that may impact those routes and also live images from nearby cameras.
  2. Near Me: uses GPS to show you any incidents or alerts near your current location so you know what to expect before you head off.


At the moment, VicTraffic displays travel times in both directions on all of Melbourne’s freeways and various major roads listed below.  Not all major roads currently have travel times available and so VicRoads will be seeking your feedback as we work to build on the information we can provide you.

  • Alexandra Pde/Princes St/Cemetery Rd/Elliott Av
  • Ballarat Rd
