Signage will be posted advising of the closure dates as well as suggested detour routes for cyclists.

Unfortunately the detour routes suggested involve traveling on busy major roads (Wantirna Rd & Mountain Hwy) with limited bike lane or off-road options. Oh well, at least it’s only for a few weeks – no pain, no gain!
