City of Melbourne's security upgrade works around Southern Cross Station are continuing. Steel bollards have already been installed at the intersection of Spencer and Bourke streets.
The next phase of works will include installation of security measures at the intersection of Collins and Spencer streets as well as between Collins and Bourke Streets.

Temporary closures of pedestrian crossings.
Partial road closures on Collins and Spencer Streets.
Reduced taxi rank capacity outside the station.
