Upfield path detour
News from Kylie Huard, Strategic Transport Planner, Moreland City Council:
Council has erected a temporary detour in place on the Upfield path near Duckett Street due to an unsafe factory wall abutting the path.
The detour keeps being removed which is endangering all path users. Council has issued a notice to the building owner to install water filled barriers across the path with proper detours in place, however due to the holiday period and the building owner overseas, it has been difficult to get action. We are hoping that the barriers will be installed tomorrow, with a detour in place via Breese and West Streets.
There are also gas works going on in Breese St, however these are south of Duckett St, and should not impact on cyclists using the detour. The traffic management contractors at this site are aware of the detour in place.
We apologise for the disruptions, and hope you understand why we’ve had to block the path. I will provide an update when I know more about the duration of works required to stabilise the wall.
Many thanks for your patience.
