Brockley St bridge replacement


The Brockley St Bridge replacement works were completed in August 2025, on time and within budget. 

This was a critical infrastructure renewal project that significantly improves pedestrian safety and accessibility, particularly for school children, cyclists and mobility-impaired users. It ensures compliance with modern load limits and construction standards, provides shared paths on both sides of the bridge to enhance pedestrian facilities, strengthens connectivity between residential areas and key community facilities and delivers a safer, more reliable route for emergency services and local traffic.

Frequently asked questions


Why is the council proposing these works?

Technocrete conducted a Level Three bridge inspection and determined that the Brockley Street Bridge had reached end-of-life and required replacement.

The safety and wellbeing of the community is paramount; this outcome will enhance pedestrian safety and ensure the structure’s longevity. It will also result in the realignment of the stormwater drainage, which would clash with the new bridge abutments.

When will these works be under taken?

The design and construction contract for this project were awarded via an open tender process, with the successful applicant announced in late 2023.

Preparation works have occurred intermittently throughout 2024, with construction of the new bridge to commence on Monday, September 16 and conclude in approximately mid- to late-2025.

How is this project being funded?

The Australian Government’s Bridges Renewal Program will fund about 80 per cent of this project, with the council allocating the outstanding balance.

What impact will these works have on traffic and pedestrian movement?

Traffic management will be in place during the period of construction.

Pedestrians – A detour is available via Parkland Dve, Les Stone Park and Cole Crt.

Vehicles – Alternative direct routes will be available along Lawrence St and Pearce St.

For those requiring access to sites near to the bridge, there will be detour signage through Roseland Rd, Waratah Way, Primrose Way, Lawrence St, Norah Ave and Woodland St.

The council has engaged with schools, community groups, organisations and services that are located near to the bridge to ensure they are as prepared as possible for the impact of the works on movement through the area.

How can I stay up to date?

The council’s website and social media channels will be updated with project information and timings.
