SATURDAY’S GP Run will affect traffic in Cranbourne from 6am to noon.
Significant traffic management will be implemented on event day with installation of the traffic management plan on High Street commencing at 2am on Saturday 17 October. This includes kerbside parking not being available along High Street between Stawell and Sladen streets.
From 7.30am to 11am, the southbound carriageway of High Street (South Gippsland Highway), between Stawell and Sladen streets, will be closed for the event.
Through traffic will continue to operate in both directions on the northbound carriageway (including during the event “wave-off”). Side streets entering High Street from the east (Stawell, Lyall, Bakewell and Childers streets) will be closed after the entry point to the car parks.
Therefore access to the car parking areas from these streets will still be possible.
Southbound traffic should use Clarendon Street to access Cranbourne Park Shopping Centre as they will not be able to make any left or right turns on High Street between Stawell and Sladen streets.
Northbound traffic will not be able to make right-hand turns on High Street (South Gippsland Highway) between Sladen and Stawell streets. Left turns for northbound traffic from High Street between Sladen and Stawell streets, will not be affected.
A bus stop will still be available on the northbound carriageway adjacent to Cranbourne Park Shopping Centre.
A temporary bus stop will be provided for southbound bus services in Codrington Street (between Lyall and Bakewell streets) and all southbound bus services will utilise this temporary stop.
The existing pedestrian crossings on High Street will be operational and controlled by the City of Casey.
Parking bans will also be in place in Stawell Street (between High and Codrington streets) to accommodate the event bikes and in Codrington Street (between Bakewell and Lyall streets) and the south side of Lyall Street (between Russell and Codrington streets) to accommodate the public transport detour for the duration of the event. Delays are expected and organisers seek the co-operation of the public during this major event.
