Billabong Anabranch Bridge Replacement: Federation Way Oaklands
Published on 28 April 2022
Federation Council has commenced work on a $1.8 million new 2 metre wider full bridge replacement construction at the Billabong Creek Anabranch near Oaklands.
The first stage of work is to construct a temporary bridge with an access road to the eastern side of the existing bridge. Once this temporary bridge is complete, traffic will be diverted to enable the existing bridge to be demolished and new bridge construction.
This bridge replacement is jointly funded by the Australian Government and NSW State Government under the Bridges Renewal Program.
- Australian Government $907,500
- N.S.W State Government $907,500
- Total cost $1,815,000
Road work signs are in place to maintain a safe working environment for our staff, and for the safety of motorists in the area. When travelling through the construction site please be aware of the road crews, equipment and potential traffic delays including reductions in the speed limit during the construction.
From Monday, July 25, motorists are advised that a one lane temporary bridge will be in operation alongside the current Billabong Creek Anabranch Bridge whilst works are underway. This temporary bridge will be in place until November 2022, and will allow traffic to proceed along Federation Way whilst the new bridge is constructed.
Temporary Traffic Lights, as well as instructional signage will be in place to guide motorists. Council encourages motorists to take care and follow instructional signage.
Federation Council apologises for any inconvenience caused and thanks you in advance for your understanding and cooperation as Council builds and creates a safe and connected community.
