<div><font face="Calibri, sans-serif" color="#1F497D">Further to the earlier advice (see email below), works will soon commence on the timber boardwalk along the Main Yarra Trail near Swan Street Richmond. The works involve removing the timber deck and replacing
it with recycled plastic decking. As a consequence the boardwalk will be closed for approximately five weeks commencing Wednesday 4th November. Traffic management activities and signage on-site will direct pedestrians and cyclists on to the adjacent footpath
and will cause minimal disruption to trail users during the construction period.</font></div>
