#VICTRAFFIC: @VicRoads report a smash inbound on the West Gate Fwy, middle lane approaching Montague St, between two utes and a car. Apparently the drivers have stopped and gotten out of their cars so it’s a pretty dangerous situation. PLEASE obey overhead lane signs on approach

Chris Miller from VicRoads says the closure is expected to be in place throughout the morning peak.
“There’s water going into shops and the entire road, so there’s a big mess to clean up this morning,” he said.
Out thanks to Seven News reporter Paul Dowsley who retrieved this footage of the burst main.
