What's Happening
Nightworks 2024
Work has started and will continue until mid-2025 to upgrade the road network, and pedestrian and cyclist facilities adjacent to Belmont Park Racecourse and Graham Farmer Freeway in Victoria Park.
Nightworks are required during September and October. These works, to enable construction of the bridge piers, will include installing steel reinforcing and formwork, and pouring concrete, as well as minor works on the Victoria Park Drive bridge over Graham Farmer Freeway. This will include vehicle movements to and from site with the loading and unloading of redundant paving and kerbing.
When work occurs on the bridge, lane closures will be required on Graham Farmer Freeway to facilitate access to the works site.
Nightworks will occur between 9pm and 5am, weather permitting on the following dates:
- Monday, 24 September – Friday, 18 October 2024
Work hours and ongoing traffic management
In general, road and bridge works will be undertaken Monday to Saturday, between 7am and 7pm. Visit our Travel Map for the latest updates.
At times nightworks are occurring to reduce the impacts on road users, and facilitate access to the works site, weather permitting. Visit our Travel Map for the latest updates.
Graham Farmer Freeway speeds have been reduced in both directions to accommodate the changed road environment and allow for the safe construction of the new footbridge.
The works are being undertaken in accordance with approved Noise Management and Traffic Management plans. Work-related noise will be minimised wherever possible but may include machinery movements and operations (including reverse beepers).
Construction is underway and will continue until mid-2025.
From Monday 8 July a shared path detour will be implemented to accommodate the road and bridge works.
The detour uses the newly constructed PSP adjacent to Belmont Park Racecourse. The detour will operate for the whole project, with directional signage in place to guide path users at all times.
