Temporary Road Closure at Railway Place, Tue 27 & Fri 30 July

Dear Moreland Cyclists,

There will be a temporary road closure in Railway Place, Coburg this week to allow a crane access to the former Union Mills/McNuts site at 37-41 Munro Street Coburg

The closure will occur 7am-4:30pm on Tuesday 27 July and Friday 30 July and will affect cyclists on the Upfield bike path. It was not possible to leave the 2.5m minimum width on Railway Place for bikes to use, however there is a separate detour for bikes (as opposed to cars) which will use the laneway bounding the work site. The detour will only take cyclists 35m away from the path and the detour will be signed for cyclists and have traffic controllers at the North and South end of the closure to assist cyclists in finding the detour. Railway Place will remain open outside of the above mentioned times.

If you wish to discuss this further please contact Gordon Blake, Traffic Engineer City of Moreland, gblake@moreland.vic.gov.au.

Regards
Simon Stainsby
Sustainable Transport Officer
Moreland City Council
