tram power upgrade project
Impact on land The project will ensure the site is securely fenced off for the entire construction period. Most works will be restricted to the substation site, however for a small period underground connection work will be carried out and works will be required outside the site. Advance notification will be provided to the community for any additional impacts. The project team will make every effort to minimise the impact on the land. ALBERT RD & FERRARS ST SOUTH MELBOURNE TRAM POWER UPGRADE PROJECT A tree management plan will be in place during construction to minimise the impact on surrounding vegetation. Any impact to the land outside the site area will be remedied once works are complete. Traffic Residents can expect construction vehicles moving through the local area. At times temporary lane closures and footpath closures will be required. Traffic controllers will be present to help minimise disruption to motorists and pedestrians. Please look for warning signage and follow the direction of traffic controllers. Please note the footpath and underpass next to the site will remain open. Advance notification will be provided if a closure is required. As a follow up from the letter delivered to properties on Monday 4 January 2016, Public Transport Victoria (PTV) would like to notify you about the commencement of construction works. PTV and Yarra Trams are building a new tram power substation on the corner of Albert Rd & Ferrars St, South Melbourne.
