🚧 What’s Causing the Delays?

Melbourne Airport is currently undergoing a massive infrastructure upgrade, including:

  • Terminal expansions
  • Construction of new elevated roadways

  • Lane closures and road diversions

These works are expected to continue through 2025, and delays are already impacting drop-off and pick-up traffic flow.
