Shakamaker Drive, Melton, will re-open to participants for Saturday's A. G. Hunter Cup night to assist access amid the expected higher traffic volume.

The roadway has been closed for the neighbouring construction works, but Harness Racing Victoria has gained temporary clearance to provide participants quicker access to Melton Entertainment Park’s stabling area.

Shakamaker Dr will then re-close for the foreseeable future from Sunday, February 15.
