To prepare for more trains, more often once the Metro Tunnel opens later this year, we’re closing Webster Street at the level crossing and building a new road under the rail line. The new underpass will connect Princes Highway-Lonsdale Street to Cheltenham and Hammond roads.

After Webster Street closes at the level crossing from 9pm, Friday 10 October, we’ll complete works on Webster Street and Bryants Road from Monday 20 October to Saturday 15 November.

What we’re doing

Installing new road surfaces, kerbing, line marking and landscaping on sections of Webster Street and Bryants Road. We’re also installing a new speed hump on Webster Street.

To safely complete these works, we’ll close sections of Webster Street and Bryants Road.

What to expect

  • 24/7 road and lane closures along Webster Street and Bryants Road
  • Temporary on-street parking closures on Webster Street and Bryants Road
  • Detours will be in place with traffic management in place 24/7 to assist drivers, pedestrians and bike riders
  • Increase in construction noise and vibration, vehicles and workers
  • Works from 7am to 6pm, Monday to Friday and 7am to 1pm, Saturdays

Any properties impacted by these works will be contacted directly. Emergency services will have access at all times.

We’ll make every effort to complete works on schedule; however, dates and times are subject to change.
