The ACT government is telling people to plan ahead if they want to travel near the light rail line at night as there will be diversions in place between 8pm and 6am from Sunday.
These intersections will be closed to all southbound and northbound right-turning traffic, and to traffic crossing through:
- Lysaght Street
- Mitchell Resource Centre
- Randwick Road
- EPIC
- Phillip Avenue
- Swinden
- Morphett and Murdoch Street
- Macarthur-Wakefield Avenues
- Masson-Girrahween Street
- Elouera-Gould Street
"There will be a number of temporary closures at the remaining intersections between Mitchell and the city, along the corridor, to give light rail vehicles priority to travel through. Intersections will be re-opened once they pass," the government said in a statement.
"Light rail vehicles will always have priority at traffic lights, meaning the order of traffic light sequencing will vary for motorists, pedestrians and cyclists."
