Bike ride road closures planned

Williamstown and district road users are advised to be aware of speed reductions and road closures during the United Energy Around the Bay bike ride on Sunday, October 9.

The 50, 100, 210 and 300 kilometre routes will cut through the Maribyrnong and Hobsons Bay areas.

Bicycle Network events general manager Caitlin Borchers said road users are advised to be aware of local speed reductions and road closures.

“Bicycle Network is working with local authorities including councils, VicRoads and Victoria Police to implement a number of changes to traffic conditions to minimise the risks for all road users,”

“With more than 10,000 bike riders, including many children on the 20 kilometre, 50 kilometre and 100 kilometre ride options, we do ask other road users to plan ahead and allow extra time if they need to travel on the route.

“We’d like to thank locals and visitors for their co-operation and patience during the event.”

All rides will be starting and finishing at Albert Park Lake.

Two outbound lanes of the West Gate Freeway will be partially closed between 5.15am and 9.45am between Todd Road and Williamstown Road.

Authorities will then partially close two inbound lanes along the West Gate Freeway between Williamstown Road and Cook Street from 7am to 11.30am.
