Brunswick Tram Depot upgrade

As part of our final upgrades works at the Brunswick Tram Depot, we’re:

• Installing a pair of level-access stops at Moreland Road, at Cameron Street, to improve accessibility and connectivity.
• Building a new tram depot exit onto Sydney Road to minimise delays to services in the morning peak and reduce congestion on Moreland Road.

There will be detours in place on Sydney Road and Moreland Road, and public transport service changes during these works.

These works will take place in three stages of 24-hour works:

Cameron Street: 1am, Friday 21 August to 10pm, Monday 5 October 2026

What to expect

• Closure of Moreland Road between Cameron Street and Sydney Road
• 24/7 works
• Traffic delays and vehicle and bike rider detours in place with traffic management and signage in place.
• Service changes on tram routes 6, 19 and 58
• Extremely high levels of noise at times while we break out the tram tracks, complete saw cutting, deep excavation and break through underground materials.
• Pedestrian access to be maintained and local businesses remain open
