Background

We proposed to replace the existing bridge at Morgan Road and Oxford Falls Road West due to its age and condition. The bridge was constructed in 1965 and has been identified in Council's most recent condition audit as requiring replacement due to its structural condition rating.

We consulted with you on the concept plan between 26 April and 14 June 2022 for a new two-lane vehicle bridge with designated pedestrian access that will improve access and safety in the area.

The proposal was supported by the majority of respondents who recognised the need for improvements to access and safety.

At its meeting on Tuesday 18 April Council engaged a construction contractor. You can view the meeting minutes here (Item 19.1 - pg. 25).
