Riders who use Collins Street to and from Docklands will encounter gas main works near Harbour Esplanade in early January.
The Docklands Community Hub Reserve, which houses various recreational facilities near the Collins Street corner, is also home to T16 West Melbourne Pipeline, which connects to Dandenong 36km away.
The facility is due for regular maintenance, involving the creation of a compound in the reserve that extends close to the Collins Street east-bound bike lane.
The works will be underway for about eight weeks, concluding at the end of April.
A 3-metre-high flare will be required for a period of up to an hour approximately four times per week, as a part of the cleaning the pipeline for repair.
An exclusion zone will be in place during flaring with all traffic restricted from the exclusion zone during flaring.
Traffic management will be in place during any restrictions, which will mainly impact traffic on Harbour Esplanade.
The off-road bike path on Harbour Esplanade should not be impacted.
