The pedestrian-operated crossing will be installed on High Street near St Monica's Primary School with construction expected to take six weeks.
During the works, changes include:
- No right turn permitted into Station Street from High Street southbound and no right turn permitted into High Street southbound from Station Street. A signed detour will be via Lockwood Road and Carpenter Street.
- No left turn available into Station Street from High Street southbound. To access St Monica's Primary School, the detour will be via Camp Street and Church Street.
- High Street will remain open with speed set at 40km/h and traffic management in place.
Member for Bendigo West Maree Edwards said the new signals would be installed close to the existing school crossing.
"Traffic management will be in place during construction, with speed on High Street reduced to 40 kilometres per hour," she said.
"Please drive to conditions for the safety of workers, other drivers, cyclists and pedestrians."
The $500,000 project has been funded by the federal and state governments through the joint Targeted Road Safety Works program.
Delays are expected so motorists are asked to allow extra time and to drive to the conditions for the safety of workers, other drivers, cyclists and pedestrians.
These works are weather-dependent, so dates may change.
