City of Yarra will begin works on Monday 16 March 2026 to resurface the road pavement, reconstruct road humps and relocate existing bike lane bollards along Elizabeth Street in Richmond.
The project will run for an estimated four to five weeks, subject to weather conditions.
Works are being undertaken to improve road quality, reduce disruption for residents and businesses, and complete upgrades on Elizabeth Street as quickly as possible.
The works form part of Council's broader plans for the Elizabeth Street Cycling Corridor, endorsed at its February meeting, where it agreed to maintain and extend the protected bike route while restoring 48 car parking spaces.
Council says undertaking the road re-sheeting as part of these works will help minimise disruption to residents and businesses, improve road quality and complete works on Elizabeth Street as soon as possible.
Additional works also include speed cushions for cyclists on Little Hoddle Street and Regent Street, a contraflow bike lane on Jonas Street, and installation of a bike-friendly grated drain cover.
Night resurfacing works are expected to take place between 25 March and 31 March 2026, during which sections of the road will be closed to vehicles overnight. Pedestrian access and local vehicle access will be maintained with traffic management in place.
