St Kilda Road resurfacing and realignment

Domain precinct

Ongoing

• In late September/early October, there will be another realignment of the southbound lane on St Kilda Road between Park Street and Bowen Lane
• Once complete, southbound traffic on St Kilda Road will switch onto this new section of road, to the east of its current alignment. This will result in the temporary closure of the right turn from Park Street onto St Kilda Road.
• To prepare for this realignment, works will continue surface clearing and applying granular layers to build a new road section within the site. This road work will occur during normal construction hours
• To ensure continuity of the kerbing and asphalt, some minor shifts of site fencing may occur at the Park Street entrance to the Shrine of Remembrance however pedestrian access will be maintained at all times
• At the north end of the site between Dorcas and Park streets, the construction team will be undertaking drainage works before profiling and preparing the surface for the final wearing course
• Prior to the realignment, a small team will be using hand tools to undertake geotechnical investigations and collect soil samples on St Kilda Road and Park Street. These works will require short term traffic changes in some areas. See traffic and transport impacts section below for further information.
