Western Ring Road path detour
09 September 2008 The Deer Park Bypass project will result in the temporary closure and re-routing of the bike path.
The last phase of the works at Fitzgerald Rd/Western Ring Rd interchange is now underway, involving drainage and earthworks, the placing of bridge beams over the Western Ring Rd, installation of noise walls and landscaping.
This will involve temporarily closing and re-routing the bike path (detour along The Avenue to Sunrise Dr) to enable construction of the noise wall foundations.
Leighton and VicRoads state that every effort is being made to minimise impact.

Upgrade of Path at Fitzgerald Road
Jul 07 VicRoads have advised that a temporary detour will be in place on the Western Ring Road near Fitzgerald Rd (Mel Ref 39 H3) till the end of October 2007.
The detour will be off road with road crossings on The Avenue and Fitzgerald Rd.
Bicycle Victoria have requested that VicRoads provide an alternate crossing point on The Avenue that is closer to Fitzgerald Rd as it's unlikely that riders will use the current crossing point (PDF 257KB).
