The Collins Bridge over the Yarra River at Gipps Street will be closed intermittently over the next month.
Contractors for Parks Victoria are finishing up works on the major new ramp connecting to the Main Yarra Trail at Collins Bridge.
They are scheduled to complete works at street level, including drainage, kerbs, footpaths and road surfacing.
This will require closure of Collins Bridge at several stages, with riders diverted onto the detour route.
Closure dates, subject to weather and between the hours of 9am–4pm are:
- Tuesday 28 October
- Wednesday 29 October
- Monday 17 November
- Wednesday November
The Bridge is otherwise open.
Detour signage will be in place at Gipps Street, Yarra Bend Park, Johnston Street and Walmer Street Bridge in advance of closures.
The main ramp and retaining wall have been completed. Some landscaping and planting works will continue.
The new facility is expected to be open to bike riders and walkers by early December.
