Yarra Street raised pedestrian crossing

In 2024, we're building a new raised pedestrian crossing at the intersection of Yarra Street and Toorak Road in South Yarra.

During the planned three month construction, the intersection of Yarra Street and Toorak Road will be closed to all traffic.

We recognise works of this nature will cause some inconvenience and every effort will be made to keep disruption to a minimum.
