All Melbourne-bound lanes of the Hume Fwy are closed between Violet Town and Seymour due to a serious collision at Avenel.
Motorists will exit the freeway at Violet Town, then use Murchison-Violet Town Rd to Moorilim, and the southbound lanes of the Goulburn Valley Fwy to return to the Hume Fwy at Seymour.
The Department of Transport and Planning is asking drivers who are planning to travel towards Melbourne this afternoon to allow around 15 minutes extra for this detour compared to the regular journey via the Hume Fwy through Euroa.
This closure is under the control of emergency services.
The freeway will reopen when investigations are complete, and it’s safe to do so.
