Upcoming maintenance works on Smithfield Road-Ballarat Road at and near the Maribyrnong River Bridge in Kensington will impact riders later this month and during April.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
The inbound lanes over the bridge will be impacted between 8pm and 6am, including weekends as works close the lanes on 15 nights over about a month.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Electronic message signs are displayed along the road to communicate advanced notice of the works, road, lane and footpath closures, and detours.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
While the Smithfield Road shared path will remain open along the Racecourse, the bridge crossing on the Flemington Road crossing will be closed at times.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Riders could utilise the footpath on the opposite side of the bridge.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Using the path on the old Stock Bridge just down-stream might be the safest option.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Buses and emergency services including ambulance and police vehicles will be granted access through the site during the works by traffic controllers.<\/p>\n
