Sharing the Broadford-Wandong Road bridge design
In Wandong, we’re replacing the Broadford-Wandong Road bridge with a new higher structure to the north, to allow sufficient clearance for double-stacked freight trains.
Between 24 February and 24 March, we’re pleased to be sharing the latest design and listening to your feedback.

With construction set to begin later this year, we’re sharing the latest design which incorporates your feedback.
You’ve told us improving road and pedestrian safety, minimising impacts during construction and the extension of Pickett Walk are important to you and we’ve improved the design to deliver these outcomes.
Our construction partner John Holland will be available to talk with the community about next steps and what to expect in Wandong.
