Much needed investment by the NSW government! But, $220M for an 100 metre or less bridge? Someone need to review the QS... oh wait, that will increase the overall project cost by another few millions. PS: A $220M build = 300-500 apartments or 150-300 houses.
The Epping Bridge Project concept design and Review of Environmental Factors are now available for public display. This $220 million initiative aims to replace the 124-year-old Epping Bridge with a new, wider, and safer structure. The project will address congestion and traffic delays by adding an additional westbound lane and a southbound right turn lane into Blaxland Road, improving road capacity for the 63,000 vehicles crossing daily. The upgrade includes: 🚶 Road and pedestrian safety enhancements such as a new shared path for walking and cycling 🛣️ A raised central median 🚧 Bridge safety screens 🚦 Improved pedestrian crossings and traffic signals at key intersections 🚗 Additional improvements will also be made to surrounding roads. We invite you to provide your feedback on the Epping Bridge Project by Monday 7 October 2024. community drop-in sessions will be held for further engagement.
