The large crack which appeared on the West Gate Bridge on Monday afternoon has been fixed in time for peak-hour morning traffic, VicRoads says.
The speed limit on the bridge has returned to 80km/h after crews worked overnight to mend the 40mm deep crack, believed to have been caused by last week's heatwave.
The crack, about three metres in length, prompted the closure of two inbound lanes near Williamstown Road from 1pm until about 3.30pm.
