🚴♀️ Heads up riders – Northbourne Avenue weekend closures! 🚧
If you’re planning to cycle through the city in early August, here’s what you need to know about the upcoming closures for light rail and stormwater upgrade works:
🚦 When and where?
1–4 August 2025 (Fri 8pm – Mon 6am):
🔹 Southbound closed between Cooyong Street and Vernon Circle
8–11 August 2025 (Fri 8pm – Mon 6am):
🔹 Northbound closed between Rudd Street and Vernon Circle
🚲 What it means for you:
- Expect detours and extra traffic in the city.
- Allow extra time or choose quieter backstreets and shared paths to avoid construction areas.
- Intersections at London Circuit and Alinga Street will also be affected during works.
- Good news: it won’t make a big difference if you already use the lovely bike path running alongside Northbourne.
- Bonus tip: south of Albert Street, cars usually crawl slower than bikes, so you might even breeze past the traffic!
These closures are part of rolling upgrades through to mid-2026, with crews working around the clock on weekends.
✅ Plan ahead, ride safe, and keep an eye out for detours!
