Works have started to install the new Station Street bridge.
To enable this work, Station Street will be closed for the duration of the works and detours are provided by Astley Street, Gerald Street, Albany HIghway, Ferres Drive and Mills Road West. Local access will be maintained at all times for Station Street residents.
You can view the detour locations via the image below.
Pedestrians and cyclists will continue to be able to cross the river in this location, using a combination of the existing bridge and temporary paths; however, the bush track under the bridge will be closed for safety reasons.
New Station Street Bridge
The new bridge will be dual lane, and constructed next to the existing wooden bridge. The existing bridge will be maintained, and it will then be used as a shared path, allowing both pedestrians and cyclists a safe route across the river.
The design for the new bridge was previously completed by the City, and has now been handed to Main Roads WA for construction. Funding for this project has been provided by the Australian Government, the WA State Government and the City of Gosnells.
Main Roads WA are completing the construction of the new bridge, and all community communications will come from Main Roads or via their project page here.
This City will share this information with residents on this page.
