RESCHEDULED - Roma Street station construction site: Installation of tower crane #3

Weekend work and traffic changes are required to deliver and assemble a third tower crane at the Roma Street construction site. Installation of the third tower crane at Roma Street has been rescheduled to occur between 6:30am and 6:30pm on Saturday 5 and Sunday 6 March 2022.

 

Temporary partial lane closures will be in place on Roma Street eastbound (inbound), between Countess and Herschel streets, for
the delivery and assembly of a tower crane. Access will be maintained through this area under the direction of traffic control.

Pedestrian access to bus stops on Roma Street and the Roma Street rail and busway station will be maintained. Short pedestrian

construction site.

Work will involve:
