Temporary changes to pedestrian and vehicle access
Access around the Sydney Modern Project site continues in line with the wayfinding map shown. Due to an increased volume of construction work, vehicles, and pedestrians in the area, we ask everyone to abide by all road rules in this shared zone, including directions from traffic controllers. Thank you to everyone for their cooperation, understanding, and patience as we create a new art museum experience for everyone to enjoy.
All parking bays in front of the existing Art Gallery building have been removed as part of the landscaping works taking place in this area.
The bus stop for Bus 441 is temporarily relocated to the south of the Art Gallery on Art Gallery Road.
The Art Gallery Road footpath adjacent to the site is closed to pedestrians, however the Domain side footpath remains open. A temporary accessible pedestrian crossing is located north and south of the Art Gallery. An accessible pathway is located on the northern side of the Art Gallery.
