Premier Daniel Andrews has intervened in a squabble between VicRoads and a local council over bike lanes along St Kilda Road, pouring cold water over a project to make cycling safer along the boulevard.

Mr Andrews, talking on 3AW on Friday morning, told radio host Neil Mitchell that a plan by VicRoads and Port Phillip Council for safer bike lanes on St Kilda Road would not go ahead.

"I see some stuff today about more bike lanes. We won't be having any of that," Mr Andrews told Mr Mitchell.

The Premier said St Kilda Road is to be disrupted for construction of the Melbourne Metro rail tunnel, and that changing the bike lanes could create more problems for car drivers.
