Yarra River Services Protection Project
Last updated: 02/09/24
As part of the Channel Deepening Project in 2008-2009, the Yarra River Services Protection Structures were installed as a safeguard over three trunk services in the Yarra River downstream of the West Gate Bridge.
Port of Melbourne will soon be undertaking works including:
- Visual survey of the grouted rock protection structure to inform defects?; and
- Remediation of deteriorated grouted rock.
Works are scheduled to commence from week commencing 16 September 2024 and may take between 6-8 months to complete, subject to weather conditions and actual extent of defects. Port of Melbourne has worked closely with Ports Victoria to establish a set of protocols that provide maximum flexibility while facilitating these essential works.
Conformation of works will be issued via Notice to Mariners.
