Connecting our community through safe footpaths is one of the ways we’re building a better Manningham.
As part of our 2024/25 Capital Works Program, we’re constructing a new refuge island on Ringwood Warrandyte Road, Warrandyte, to improve accessibility and safety.
Works will include:
- constructing a new kerb and channel and footpath
- upgrading the existing bus stop
- adding new signage and line-marking.
Where is it?
The refuge island will be built on the eastern and western sides of Ringwood Warrandyte Road, Warrandyte, next to the intersection of Russell Road.
Why is the footpath needed?
The new refuge island and footpath will improve pedestrian connectivity, safety, and accessibility around the area. It will link the existing river reserve trail with Stonehouse Café, the bus stop, and the Russell/Mullens intersection on the western side of Ringwood-Warrandyte Road. The upgrade will provide a safe and accessible walking route to encourage healthier, more active lifestyles.
When will the works happen?
The project is scheduled to start in February 2025. Timelines are subject to weather conditions and contractor availability.
How will the works affect me?
The works will take place on weekdays during the hours of 7.00am and 5.00pm. There will be some construction noise and minor traffic delays during these hours.
Construction will require a single lane road closure, sections of the footpath to be closed and reduced on-street parking. We will have traffic management and signage on site to guide you through the area. Some properties will have driveway access limited during construction. We will contact the affected properties directly prior to construction.
We appreciate your patience and understanding while we work to improve the footpath connections in your area.
