Merri Creek Path Closures
1: Kingfisher-Harrison-Albion path widening
2: Murray Road Bridge Repairs
The attachment shows the area affected around CERES. The detour route has been chosen to avoid sending cyclists on to busy Nicholson Street. Cyclists have been observed taking this route. Follow detour signs. Hopefully the closure won’t be as long as is shown on the map but the works are weather dependent.
The other closure is under Murray Road. The bluestone balustrade on the bridge above needs to be repaired after a car ploughed into it and knocked out a lot of (big, heavy) bluestone flagstones. Scaffolding will be erected under the bridge but the path will remain open except for intermittent short periods (minutes I’m told) when users will be stopped by a flag person if there is danger of objects falling from above. It was very lucky that no one was under the bridge at the time it was hit!
Any questions, contact me.
