By public transport:
Click here to plan your trip to the MCG using Melbourne's public transport network. Please note, rail and road construction projects may impact some public transport services. Visit the PTV website linked above to find out how your journey may be affected.
Due to major upgrades to Melbourne’s metro rail system, from Monday 1 April until Tuesday 23 April there will be disruptions across multiple lines which will affect your commute to this weekend’s game. Click here for info on affected train lines and alternate routes.
Transport Disruptions:
There are many pedestrian and cyclist disruptions in the Melbourne Olympic Park Precinct as a result of the works. Please refer to the list below for specific crossings and footpaths that have been closed and alternative routes available.
Closed the pedestrian footpath along Olympic Boulevard at Gosch’s Paddock to build a shared user path. Closed both pedestrian crossings at the Punt Road and Swan Street intersection.

MCG Footbridge closure:
The MCG Footbridge will be partially closed to allow construction works to take place. There are alternative pathways available to the public. These include the use of William Barak Bridge and Edwin Flack Bridge for pedestrians and low mobility patrons to travel north to south across the precinct.
At the ground:
Arrive early: Security measures such as wanding and bag checks will have an impact on the time taken to admit patrons to enter the stadium. Please allow extra time and don't leave your arrival until the last minute.
Be patient: Security inspections take time, so please understand it will take a little longer to move people into the stadium.
Limit the number of bags you bring: Each bag will be inspected, so the more you bring the longer it will take.
