Ahead of major construction for the Metro Tunnel Project, changes to the road, tram and bicycle networks are required to keep Melbourne moving during construction.
Further to the works notification issued 31 October 2017 this work will now commence on 3 January 2018.
As the major arterial route in the precinct, Kings Way has been identified as the primary diversion route during construction of the new underground station at Domain. To ensure Kings Way can cater for the predicted increase in traffic, it is essential that changes are made to the road to improve the efficiency of the network.
These changes are part of a number of network improvement projects being delivered in conjunction with existing VicRoads initiatives to accommodate diverted traffic during construction. These works will improve the resilience and capacity of the road network while the Metro Tunnel is built. Road network improvements across the city include lane changes and signalling upgrades at more than 100 intersections. Variable message signs (VMS) will also be installed to provide drivers with information on traffic conditions on key routes.
John Holland has been appointed as the Managing Contractor for the delivery of these works.
What we are doingA number of intersections along Kings Way will be upgraded to improve the traffic flow, efficiency and the safety of the network for vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians.
Intersection of Kings Way & Park Street (map 1) - January to late February 2018Changes will be made to the intersection of Kings Way and Park Street to increase the capacity and efficiency of Kings Way. Works include:
• Undertaking service investigation works to confirm service location and depth within this area
• Modifying the service road kerb, to become a left turn only lane
• Line marking works
• Installing an overhead traffic sign across Kings Way north-west of Cobden Street to support the changed traffic conditions
• Constructing a crossover (exit point for vehicle traffic) on Kings Way north-west of Cobden Street from the service lane into the slow lane in the carriageway on Kings Way.
WhenService investigation works• 6pm – 7am, on up to five consecutive nights
between Wednesday 3 January and Friday 12 January 2018.
Kings Way Service lane near Cobden Street intersection• 6pm – 7am, on up to 10 nights with a maximum of
five consecutive nights during this period between Wednesday 3 January and 19 January 2018.
Park Street and Kings Way intersection• 6pm – 7am, on up to 15 nights with a maximum of
five consecutive nights during this period between Wednesday 10 January and Thursday 15 February 2018.

WORKS NOTIFICATIONCHANGES TO THE ROAD NETWORK – KINGS WAY EASTERN ROAD, DORCAS STREET & TOPE STREET3 JANUARY – LATE MARCH 2018
Intersection of Kings Way & Albert Road (map 2) – Late February to Late March 2018Changes will be made to the intersection of Kings Way and Albert Road to better define lanes and encourage greater use of the outer lanes. Works include:
• Line marking and installation of overhead signage
• Installing a variable 40km per hour speed zone in the vicinity of The Mac.Robertson Girls’ High School to provide safer crossing conditions for students.
WhenThese works will be undertaken at night due to their location in high traffic areas. Night works will minimise the level of disruption to the road network and to ensure the safety of the work crew. The community will be notified in advance of night works, as necessary.
Intersection of Kings Way & Queens Road (map 2) – Late February to Late March 2018Changes will be made to the slip lane from Kings Way onto Queens Road and at pedestrian crossings in the vicinity of the intersection, as well as installation of traffic signage to support changes to traffic movement. Works include:
• Undertaking service investigation works to confirm service location and depth within this area
• Improvements to the pedestrian crossing
• Borehole drilling and geotechnical investigations to determine ground conditions in the proposed location of the overhead gantry traffic sign structure
• Installing an overhead gantry with a traffic sign on the south side of the pedestrian access bridge to Mac.Robertson Girls’ High School.
