Trail diversions at Raleigh Road

Riders along the Maribyrnong River Trail may face minor diversions in the coming days as works to strengthen the Raleigh Road Bridge in Maribyrnong intensify.

At times, instead of taking the path along the river under the bridge, riders will be required to detour via the pedestrian crossing signals at Raleigh Road / Clyde Street intersection .

Onsite signage will be in place to alert users to changed conditions.

Note that the shared paths on both sides of the bridge deck on Raleigh Road will remain open.

Works are expected to be underway from 11pm Friday 2 May until 3am Monday 12 May 2025, some days over 24 hours.

Raleigh Road will be reduced to one lane in either direction and buses will replace tram services on Route 82 and part of Route 57.

The works are to ensure the bridge is ready for Next Generation Trams to operate along Raleigh Road from the new Maidstone Tram Depot.

On-water exclusion zones will be in place with signage to alert rivers users to changed conditions.
