There will be a number of short-term road closures over the construction period, with the majority being early in the morning or late at night to minimise public disturbance. Road closures have been designed to reduce the impact of construction by reopening roads to traffic as quickly as possible.

Bus stops affected by construction will be clearly marked to show alternate stops and routes.

The speed limit will be reduced to 50km/h throughout the race precinct for the installation of track infrastructure from 13 September to 13 November. Further reductions to 40km/h will occur in some construction areas for the safety of both public and construction personnel.
