Construction Update for week commencing 15 July 2024

15 July 2024

Dear stakeholder,

Construction works continue at Crown Street between Foveaux Street to Fitzroy Street (west) and between Foveaux Street to Collins Street (alongside Shannon Reserve). Our team will commence work at the intersection of Fitzroy Street (west) and at the intersection of Little Oxford Street.

Our construction work for the week commencing 15 July 2024 weather permitting includes:

  • From Foveaux Street to Fitzroy Street - footpath paving works.
  • Intersection of Crown Street and Fitzroy Street - road closure set up for electrical work, kerb, gutter and footpath works.
  • Intersection of Crown Street and Little Oxford Street - road closure set up for drainage and electrical works.
  • Foveaux Street to Collins Street (alongside Shannon Reserve) - site cleanup and bins installation.

Please note that access to Fitzroy Street is possible via Riley Street during the closure and access to Little Oxford Street is possible via Taggarts Lane and Ryder Street during the closure.

We will work to minimise impacts during this time, however there will be some machinery noise, temporary restrictions to parking and temporary changes to pedestrian access.

Traffic control will be available on site for the duration of works to assist pedestrians, cyclists, businesses and car users. Customers will be able to access businesses during our works. Please follow the directions of traffic controllers at all times.

Your patience and cooperation during this period are much appreciated.

Please get in touch with the Community Liaison team with any questions or concerns.

Thank you,

Crown Street Upgrade project team
