Willow Vale bridge

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.

The traffic lights were commissioned on Monday and the whole intersection is now functioning, providing safe access to and from Willow Vale as well as the newly linked Crimea Street in Balaclava.

The project team would like to thank all residents for their patience while the work was completed. We know that driving down to Braemar Avenue caused you inconvenience but we hope that the short term annoyance will be worth it now with improved safety for all.

We’d also especially like to acknowledge and thank the nearby neighbours who rarely complained despite being affected by regular traffic control plus noise and bright lights at all sorts of unsocial hours.
