ROAD closures and changed traffic arrangements will be in place for this week’s Summernats car festival at EPIC between January 2-5.

Tomorrow’s City Cruise will have rolling road closures between 11.45 am and 1 pm on Thursday, January 2 along intersections of the Federal Highway and Northbourne Avenue from Flemington Road to the intersection of London Circuit and Northbourne Avenue.

The government says traffic management will be in place around the rolling closures, which will apply to all traffic including motorists, pedestrians and cyclists. Delays are expected and road users should seek an alternate route where possible.

The annual parade, the City Cruise, features hundreds of street machines and muscle cars and is watched along Northbourne Avenue by up to 20,000 spectators. More than 100,000 people are expected to attend Summernats featuring 2000 street machine entrants.

Lonsdale Street, Braddon, will also be closed to general traffic between Cooyong Street and Girrahween Street, for three hours from 10pm, Friday (January 3), but will remain open for pedestrians and local residents.

The road may be closed earlier if police deem it necessary for the safety of the public.
