Macorna Street Bridge detour

The Macorna Street Bridge over M80 Ring Road will close soon while works are underway to build a new wider replacement bridge between Watsonia North and Bundoora.

The temporary closure is scheduled to start from 7am Monday 24 November and is expected to remain in place until 11pm Monday 1 December, weather permitting.

During this time the shared use path will be fully closed to all pedestrian and bike traffic.

Detours will be in place via local streets. Signage will be installed at key access points along the route to guide path users safely around the works area.

The project is being undertaken in stages to minimise disruption and there will be periodic closures. The new bridge foundations have already been constructed.

The bridge is being delivered as part of the new interchange being built to connect the new North East Link tunnel to the M80.
