MOTORISTS on the Monash Freeway battled multiple lane closures this morning as the road was thrown into traffic chaos.
From 5am, all outbound lanes of the freeway were closed near the South Gippsland Highway due to an incident requiring police attendance.
It remained shut until 8.15am, forcing motorists off the main road during the morning peak.
A multi-vehicle crash outbound near Heatherton Road blocked two left lanes from 7am.
A crash, believed to be a nose-to-tail incident, forced the closure of the two right lanes of Power Road about 7am this morning.
Ironically, the traffic chaos came the same day the Gazette revealed La Trobe MP Jason Wood’s plans to duplicate the busy freeway.
