The project
Exhibition Street’s new and upgraded separated bike lanes give riders a dedicated route through the CBD, physically separated from traffic.
With every metre of the corridor already in use, both above and below ground, the design required careful consideration. Our team navigated existing traffic, property access requirements and a dense network of underground services to determine the placement of each new kerb.
Our Work
Our civil engineering team prepared the detailed design and documentation for kerb separators and kerb extensions, which allow bike riders to travel uninterrupted by vehicles. We also helped to upgrade and renew the existing central medians, with a strong focus on greening and installation of irrigation systems.
We investigated the existing services along the street and enlarged medians to allow for additional planting of trees. We also assessed vehicle turning paths and maintained access to existing properties and impact of overland stormwater.
By designing around the infrastructure already in place, we helped deliver a corridor that improves cyclist safety and pedestrian amenity.
