New Kemp Street bridge designs unveiled for Junee community
Junee residents will today get their first look at the proposed designs for the new Kemp Street bridge, with Inland Rail releasing new visualisations for public viewing.
August 13, 2025
Developed in close collaboration with the NSW Government and Junee Shire Council, the new bridge has also been reviewed by the NSW State Design Review Panel – an independent group of built environment experts who assess the quality and functionality of major infrastructure projects.
The new elevated bridge will feature a pedestrian pathway designed to meet the accessibility standards of the 1992 Disability Discrimination Act ensuring safe and inclusive access for all users.
Heritage elements from the original bridge, including the iconic red brick abutments, will be thoughtfully incorporated into the landscaping where possible.
Community members are invited to view the bridge designs and speak with project representatives at upcoming pop-up information sessions:
- Wednesday 20 August, 9am–12pm at Junee Railway Station Café, Railway Square
- Thursday 21 August, 2pm–5.30pm at Junee IGA, 102 Broadway
- Friday 22 August, 10am–1pm at Junee Library, 92 Lorne Street
