In a significant step towards improving perceptions of safety in public spaces for women, girls and gender-diverse people, the Her Way 2680 project is set to commence with the upgrade of two pedestrian bridges at Ulong Street and Kooyoo Street.
As part of the works, the bridges will be removed and replaced with new wider bridges. This will require the closure of the bridges over the coming months. The bridges will be upgraded during this time to align with the outcomes of the community-led consultation through the Her Way 2680 project.
During the closure, we encourage pedestrians to utilise alternative routes to minimise inconvenience. Two suggested detours are as follows:
1. Jondaryan Avenue to/from Canal Street as an alternative to the Kooyoo Bridge.
2. The Foot Bridge across from Murrumbidgee Regional High School on Willandra Avenue as an alternative to the Ulong Street Bridge.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation during this period of improvement and development. The upgrades aim to enhance the safety and functionality of these essential pedestrian bridges for the benefit of our community.
The Her Way 2680 project is supported by Transport for NSW through the Safer Cities program and is committed to fostering a more inclusive, safe, and vibrant community.
