Friday, 5 July 2019
The Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure is undertaking night works along North Terrace, King William Street, and King William Road, from Sunday, 7 July for approximately two weeks.
To minimise disruptions, these works have been carefully programmed to coincide with the closure of the CBD tram network, required as part of the City South Tramline Replacement Project.
The works will involve essential track and overhead maintenance, and works at the Festival Plaza Tram Stop.
The majority of the works are scheduled to commence at various locations along North Terrace, between East Terrace and King William Street, from Sunday, 7 July, until 6am Friday, 19 July. They will be undertaken each night between the hours of 8pm and 6am, intermittently and weather permitting.

In addition to these works, asphalt works are scheduled to be undertaken on North Terrace out the front of Ayers House, on Friday, 12 July between the hours of 12am and 6am.
During night works, every effort will be made to minimise noise and disruption to nearby businesses and residents where possible.
