Construction is set to begin on stage one of the Main Yarra Trail Extension

Construction on stage one of the Main Yarra Trail Extension will begin in early 2023 with the contractor Metro Asphalt now appointed.

This section of the shared path will run along the northern side of Heidelberg-Warrandyte Road between Beasley’s Nursery and Alexander Road. The contractor is proposed to start from Alexander Road.

Construction is expected to run for approximately four months, subject to weather and potential covid restrictions.

During the construction process, there may be some disruptions, including construction noise, dust and restricted access to the rear of some properties.

Appropriate detour signage and traffic management will be in place to assist with traffic flow and to provide guidance on access. Every effort will be made to reduce any inconvenience during the work.
