Temporary shared user path closure at the Moonee Ponds Creek / Jacana Wetland reserve

The temporary closure of the shared user paths to the north of the M80 Ring Road and underneath the freeway bridge due for closure from 4 October have been rescheduled to Tuesday, 12 October 2010. The project is continuing to finalise the construction of the new temporary shared user paths and installing appropriate signage prior to diverting traffic.

The project will maintain access for pedestrians and cyclists by providing a temporary shared user path.

For those wishing to travel north to south, a new path is being created to the north of the M80 Ring Road which is indicated by the zigzagging section (in the map below). Cyclists/ pedestrians travelling southbound will need to turn right onto the newly build path, left along the site compound, and across the freeway at the John Coutts Reserve pedestrian crossing (as indicated on the map by the double blue lines in the left hand corner of the image)which connects back with the Moonee Ponds Creek trail southbound.

For those wishing to travel east to west, and west to east a new path has been constructed connecting Langton Street (on the south of the M80 Ring Road) to the Moonee Ponds Creek trail.

A new creek crossing has been installed on the south side of the M80 Ring Road bridge. This was completed earlier this month.
