Although the southbound lanes of Swanston Street will be closed for road reinstatement outside the City Baths next week, bike riders will still have access through the precinct.
Works will start on Swanston Street southbound between Victoria and Franklin streets from Tuesday 8 July and will include day and evening works through to Saturday 12 July 2025.
Overnight asphalting works will occur from 1.30am to 4.30am under a full southbound road closure between Victoria and Franklin streets.
Due to the proximity of these works to the tram lines, some work will need to occur outside of tram operating hours including profiling and asphalting works. These works will occur from 1.30am to 4.30am on 14, 15, 16 and 17 July.
During these overnight hours, any bike riders will need to walk their bikes following the short pedestrian detour via the west side of Swanston Street.
Riders should also be aware that there will be a closure of the Victoria Street westbound lanes between Russell and Swanston streets nightly from 9.30pm to 2.30am for asphalting starting Tuesday 8 July and concluding on Saturday 12 July 2025.
And riders on Victoria Street are to follow the traffic detour via Queensberry Street where traffic control and signage will assist.
