Riverside Pedestrian Bridge
Council has announced an innovative safety project for the Riverside Bridge Road Area, a popular recreational spot for the local community.
The area, which boasts trails on both sides of the Wimmera River, has been a cause for concern due to the narrow parapet on the curved Riverside Road Bridge.
Despite the low pedestrian traffic, council has received numerous reports about pedestrians using the bridge to connect to different sides of the trail.
Recognising the need for safety improvements, council has successfully applied for $452,500 in funding under the Heavy Vehicle Safety Program to install a low-cost trail-type bridge attachment on the existing structure.
Total project cost is $690,000.
