Night works are underway in Kilmore to install three pedestrian refuges as part of the Sydney Street Rejuvenation Project.
The pedestrian refuges along Sydney Street include two south of Union Street and one at Mitchell Street.
Traffic management will be in place between Bourke and Union Street from 8pm to 5am each weeknight until February 20.
Additional night works will start on March 2 and be completed by March 9.
Traffic along Sydney Street may be reduced to one lane during the night works, with potential for some extended delays.
Mitchell Shire Mayor Fiona Stevens said council and the appointed contractors would work to ensure the impact was minimal, and works were completed as quickly as possible.
“The intention of the pedestrian refuges is to allow for safer crossing of Sydney Street on a road that we know is very challenging for pedestrians,” she said.
“The works are being done at night to minimise disruption to businesses and residents. However, if you are in the area during the time of the works, please follow all directional signage to remain safe.
“We’re nearing the end of the works and we really appreciate the patience and understanding from the Kilmore community.”
