Overnight repairs on West Gate Bridge

ROAD crews worked overnight to repair a large crack in Melbourne's West Gate Bridge.

The crack, about five metres in length, appeared on Monday morning on the bitumen surface of a steel section of the bridge.

The crack is in the inbound lanes one and two of the bridge, which closed temporarily on Monday afternoon for emergency works.

Three lanes were closed on Monday night as crews completed a more thorough repair job and the bridge was expected to reopen in time for the Tuesday morning peak-hour traffic.

VicRoads believes last week's record heatwave, where temperatures reached more than 41C for four days in a row, caused the damage.

VicRoads acting chief executive Peter Todd said engineers climbed into the bridge and determined the structure was sound and drivers could have confidence in the bridge's structure.
