Works in Progress
Weld St Bridge Replacement
Works to replace Bridge 661 over the Gingin Brook on Weld Street which began after the Easter Long Weekend and are scheduled for completion towards the end of 2026.
Main Roads are managing the project and have contracted Fulton Hogan to do the bridge works.
During the works :
- There will be a single lane closure on the bridge which will cause minor delays. Traffic lights will be manually managed by a Traffic Controller.
- The rest area to the south of the bridge will be partially closed. There will be no restrictions to the access of CU@Park Café. IGA is still accessible via Brockman St entrance.
- The footpaths on both sides of the bridge will be closed for the duration of the project. However, the footpath near the weir will remain open to ensure continued public access.
- Construction noise and dust will be generated throughout the duration of the works.
Please be assured that Main Roads and Fulton Hogan will do everything possible to minimise impacts.
