Stage two bus interchange works commence

STAGE two of the Maude Street Bus Interchange and Plaza redevelopment have begun, with works set to continue until the estimated completion date of October this year.

Stage two includes construction of the plaza area, the bus interchange and streetscape works along Maude Street between Vaughan and Ashenden Street. These works are adjacent to the new public amenities facility currently being constructed.

During construction residents can expect to see temporary fencing erected and the demolition of existing assets such as the kerbs, footpaths and street lighting to make way for the eight bay bus interchange which will operate on both sides of Maude Street. Changes to traffic flow and pedestrian access are expected to occur.

Construction works for the public amenities building are continuing and on-track for completion in June.

Greater Shepparton City Council Director Infrastructure Phil Hoare said, “Council has initiated a number of projects aimed towards activating our CBD and the new bus interchange will improve safety for pedestrians, public transport and general road users,” Mr Hoare said.

“The new location of the bus interchange will be situated closer to the public amenities facility (stage one) and plaza area which will enhance the features and functionality of the area as well as being more user friendly for public transport users.”
