Unplanned Road Disruptions API Upgrade
Estimated duration of disruptions
Unplanned Road Disruptions API is getting an upgrade!
The Department of Transport and Planning (DTP) is adding two extra date fields to the 'Unplanned Disruptions - Road' API - 'nextUpdateDue' and 'endTime'.
These enhancements will bring the 'Unplanned Disruptions - Road' API in closer alignment to the CIFS (Closure Incident Feed Specification) data standard.
The data enhancement should ensure more accurate road closure information reaches road users leading to safer and more reliable journeys. This will be particularly useful during major emergencies like floods and bushfires where roads can be closed for extended periods.
DTP is committed to continuously improving existing datasets and releasing new information to support the Victorian Government's Open Data policy and objectives.
