Works around Merlynston Station in Coburg North continue with activities now switching to the west side of the track.
Bike riders from the west who ride to the station to the new Parkiteer bike parking or join the Upfield Trail in the station precinct should be alert to the increased construction activity.
The project to upgrade the car park, funded by the Federal and State Government, has also provided bike parking and a new trail connection on the east side of the track.
Over the coming months, works will include earthworks, asphalting and installing lighting and CCTV between Orvieto Street and Shorts Road.
From time to time, temporary traffic management may be in place.
Working hours are Monday to Friday 7:00 am to 6:00 pm and Saturday 7:00 am to 3:00 pm.
Final project completion is anticipated in late 2023.
