Alternative travel

If possible, avoid the area for the duration of the works or consider the following alternative travel options:

• Bus 624 along Tooronga Road and Auburn Road between Carrol Crescent and Cotham Road.
• Route 16 and 70/75 trams between Glenferrie Road/ Malvern Road and Riversdale Road

During works, trams and replacement buses run to the normal frequency, however they may be delayed due to traffic congestion. 

We encourage you to plan ahead and allow extra time for your journey.
