This project has concluded

The timber bridge over the old railway line at Willow Vale has reached the end of its serviceable life and needs to be replaced. Council is taking advantage of this work to upgrade access to the Old Hume Highway.

Council has been lobbying for bridge replacement and access improvements in Willow Vale for some time now and we are very pleased to have construction scheduled for 2016.

A new bridge was recently constructed by John Holland Rail, on behalf of Transport for NSW, to the side of the existing timber bridge.

Upon completion of the bridge Council will be re-aligning Railway Terrace and installing traffic signals (pending final approval of the RMS to detailed design) to form a 4-way intersection with Crimea Street and the Old Hume Highway. This work will provide intersection safety improvements.

The signals will cater for pedestrian crossings and paths will be provided on the bridge, connecting it to the Willow Vale - Mittagong shared path and Renwick Drive signals.

Funding for the bridge work has been provided by Transport for NSW and is being administered by John Holland Rail. The roadworks, including traffic signals, shared paths, foot paths and bus bays are being designed, constructed and funded by Council.

    As part of the new bridge works on Railway Terrace at Willow Vale, John Holland Rail will be having four (4) trucks arriving at the site to deliver the bridge arches between 3.45am and 4.45am from 3 to 5 May and 9 to 10 May 2016.

    Delivery during the early hours of the morning has been arranged to minimise any interruptions to traffic passing the site.

    As Willow Vale and Braemar are so quiet at this time of the day it is possible that residents will hear some extra noise generated whilst these deliveries occur but the contractor is aware of the need to minimise noise during the deliveries.

    We apologise for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your continued patience and understanding as completion of the bridge work draws closer.

    If you have any questions about the bridge work or need to report any issues please contact John Holland Rail on 1300 661 390 or email crn.enquiry@jhg.com.au. Further information and contacts for Council's road works can be viewed at www.yoursaywingecarribee.com.au/willow-vale-bridge
