Anzac Day march moves to Elizabeth Street

For the first time, Sydney’s traditional Anzac Day march through the CBD will run down Elizabeth Street this year, leading directly to the Anzac Memorial in Hyde Park.

The change accommodates the construction and future operation of the CBD and South East Light Rail.

More than 20,000 participants are expected in the march and thousands of observers.  Road closures and clearways will be in place, so it will be best to leave the car at home and use public transport if heading to the City for Anzac Day.

There will be additional train and bus services in place. The best access to the Dawn Service and Sunset Service is via St James, Wynyard and Martin Place stations, while the best access to Hyde Park is via St James, Town Hall and Museum stations.

Those travelling by bus should note there will be some diversions due to road closures and temporary stops may be used while roads are closed.

A summary of the transport and traffic changes for Anzac Day include:

  • Extra early-morning trains and buses will be running for the Dawn Service. Sydney CBD roads will be closing from 2am, so take public transport.
  • More Sydney CBD roads will close between 3am and 4pm on Monday 25 April for the Anzac Day Dawn Service and March. Visit www.livetraffic.com or call 132 701 for all the details.
  • Temporary bus terminals and diversions will be in place between 3am and 4pm due to the road closures.
  • Sydney bus services that normally travel on Elizabeth Street will divert via Wentworth Avenue, College Street and Macquarie Street.
  • Services will start and end on Macquarie Street near Martin Place.
