Clayton Road Closures
Monash Gastrointestinal Specialists has been informed that Clayton Road will be completely closed to all non-emergency traffic to the south of Monash Medical Centre from the 27th of August.
​
The closure will last for approximately two months and is to allow underground works to proceed as part of the Suburban Rail Loop project.
​
The 24/7 road closure will cut off all traffic and will extend from south of the Monash Medical Centre delivery entrance to south of the railway line.
​
Monash House's main entry, Clayton Road, and car park, Colonel Street, will only be accessible to traffic and pedestrians travelling southbound on Clayton Road. If traveling from the north down Clayton Road u-turns are allowed at the traffic lights of the Monash Medical Centre delivery entrance followed by a left turn on to Colonel Street. Alternatively the car park on Colonel Street can be accessed form both north and south ends of Madeline Road. There will be no non-emergency traffic and no pedestrians allowed to travel through the construction zone.
​
Detours and traffic management will be in place, coordinated by the Suburban Rail Loop Authority.
​
This will cause significant disruption to traffic flow in and around the site for patients, visitors, employees, deliveries, couriers, and pedestrians.
A number of side streets close to Monash House will become clearway zones, with no parking allowed to allow trucks to access the Suburban Rail Loop construction zone. This will place some additional pressure on parking for patients and visitors.
​
Visitors and patients are encouraged to plan ahead and to allow additional travel time.
