In a significant step towards improving public spaces for the perceived safety of women, girls, and gender-diverse people, the Her Way 2680 project is set to install two new foot bridges, footpaths, landings and seating on Ulong Street and Kooyoo Street.
Work to prepare the areas will begin in the next two weeks, starting with the removal of the Ulong Bridge.
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. The footbridge sites will be fenced off as construction zones and residents are asked to seek an alternative route.
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.
