Gardiners Creek overnight closure

Riders on the Gardiners Creek Trail at Heyington face night closures of the route next week.

The section between the Main Yarra Trail and Glenferrie Road passing St Kevin's College and Kooyong Tennis Club will be intermittently closed nightly from 9pm to 5am from Monday 23 September to Thursday 26 September.

Detours are available.

The official detour, selected because of better lighting, takes riders south via Grange, Toorak and Glenferrie roads.

An alternative, used previously and involving less traffic, takes riders via the Yarra Trail on both sides of the river, crossing at Swan Street.

See the maps below, starting with the official detour and the alternative beneath it. Both are lengthy.

The closures are required as Transurban will carry out essential maintenance on the Glenferrie Road bridge, replacing and installing new water pipes under the structure.
