Works notification- Wurundjeri Way Extension

Works on the Wurundjeri Way Extension are progressing with ongoing piling within the railyards (E Gate). As part of this extension, preparatory works on Wurundjeri Way will start in September. We will be locating services and removing vegetation in preparation for gas relocation works (APA Gas) which are due to commence in September, and future civil works that are required for the widening of Wurundjeri Way.

Building the Wurundjeri Way Extension

Works on Wurundjeri Way are occurring on 3 and 4 September 2020 overnight. These works will take place on Wurundjeri Way from the west of La Trobe Street to the Footscray Road T-intersection.

Works will include:

• Locating services
• Soil sampling
• Vegetation removal
• Service relocation

What to expect during construction

• Works completed at night time.
• Temporary single lane closures during the works.
• We will notify you if there are any significant changes to the timing of our works.
• Traffic management will be in place to manage changed conditions including temporary access changes and signage to guide road users and cyclists.
• Dust will be managed on-site.
• Vegetation removal works can create increased levels of noise and may also cause some vibration.
• Assessments have been conducted, which indicate the noise levels are expected to remain within permissible levels as documented in the project’s Environmental Performance Requirements.
