If you’re joining the Blues as they take on GWS Giants at Etihad Stadium this weekend, don’t get caught out by road works.

Sections of Dudley Street on the northwest side of Etihad Stadium will be closed, for work associated with Victoria’s Regional Rail Link project.

The closures will prevent access to Dudley St, between Spencer St and Wurrundjeri Way.

Additional closures will take place at intervals across the rest of the AFL season.

To make sure you’re there for the opening bounce, use public transport, or seek an alternative route.

Etihad Stadium Management has apologised for any inconvenience.
