Construction for the light rail to Commonwealth Park began on February 5, 2025.
Starting on this date, the entire western side of London Circuit will be closed to regular traffic, except for limited access from West Row, through London Circuit, to Knowles Place and onto Edinburgh Avenue.
The impact on guests accessing Novotel Canberra during this construction period is expected to be minimal.
