These works will provide a safer journey for all bike riders and road users. To date, more than 19km of bike lanes have been rolled out – resulting in a 22% increase in usage.
Bike lanes not only provide a safer journey, but also support a cleaner, greener Melbourne.
The new lanes are key routes identified in City of Melbourne's Transport Strategy 2030, and you can find a list of in progress and completed works below.
On Tuesday 7 June 2022, the Council resolved to pause the further installation of new protected bike lanes in the CBD for 12 months and instead prioritise the delivery key strategic cycling corridors into and out of the city, including Arden Street, Macaulay Road and Royal Parade.
The projects align with the Victorian Government's network of Strategic Cycling Corridors. The Department of Transport is also upgrading bike lanes in municipalities adjacent to the City of Melbourne.
