Public Transport Victoria (PTV) and Yarra Trams regularly carry out maintenance and renewal
work across the tram network to improve operations and passenger experience. The tram
tracks on Glenferrie Road, between Barkers and Riversdale roads are over 56 years old and
have reached the end of their life cycle. To continue to deliver a safe and reliable tram service
to the area, these tram tracks must be replaced.

Glenferrie Road, between Barkers and Riversdale roads will have disruptions from Sunday
22 May, including a full road closure from 9pm, Friday 24 June to 5am, Monday 11 July 2022.

Early works: 9pm to 5am, Sunday 22 May to Friday 24 June 2022 (nightly)

Major works: 9pm, Friday 24 June to 5am, Monday 11 July 2022 (24-hour works)

About the project:
Yarra Trams in partnership with PTV (Public
Transport Victoria) delivers ongoing maintenance
and renewal works across the Melbourne tram
network to ensure a safe and reliable tram
service for future generations.
Yarra Trams invests about $65m in the network
annually carrying out a range of maintenance and
renewal works aimed at improving operations and
passenger experience.
Tram tracks along Glenferrie Road, between
Barkers and Riversdale roads are almost 56 years
old and have reached the end of their life cycle.
To continue to deliver a safe and reliable tram
service to the area, these tram tracks must be
replaced.
During the upgrade of the tram tracks, we
will also upgrade the power poles and tram
powerlines in this section of Glenferrie Road.
Doing these works together means we can limit
impacts on the community through fewer road
closures and deliver the benefits of renewed
tram infrastructure sooner.
