Glenferrie Road between Dandenong Road and Evandale Road will be closed to all traffic from 10pm Friday 7 April to 5am Friday 21 April 2023.
The Department of Transport and Planning (DTP) is closing the road to undertake important bridge strengthening and tram track renewal works on the bridge over Malvern Station between Como Street and Station Street in Malvern.
These works complement already completed bridge and tram track renewal upgrades along Glenferrie Road including at Gardiners Creek and between Barkers Road and Riversdale Road.
Works will ensure the structural integrity of the bridge into the future and allow heavier vehicles and all classes of trams to travel on Glenferrie Road without restriction.
The 24 hour works program will begin from 10pm Friday 7 April and be completed by 5am Friday 21 April, from which time the street will reopen.
A recent DTP project update included the following important information:
