Railway protected by fencing

V/Line has installed temporary fencing along the LaTrobe St Bridge.

And Public Transport Victoria (PTV) says permanent fencing will be installed following a design process.

PTV says the fencing was installed in late April for safety reasons, but is reluctant to elaborate. Docklands News understands it is to prevent further attempts of self-harm.

“Temporary fencing was installed by V/Line on the LaTrobe Street Bridge, to maintain a safe environment for its employees working in the rail corridor below,”  a PTV spokesperson said.

“We’re working with City of Melbourne to find a suitable permanent solution.”

“We expect temporary fencing on LaTrobe Street Bridge to remain in place until a permanent solution is installed.”
