The West Gate Tunnel Project continues its delivery of more than 14km of new and upgraded paths to the public, with the opening of a new walking and cycling bridge over Moonee Ponds Creek this week.
A new addition to another dedicated walking and cycling bridge over Moonee Ponds Creek that opened in mid-November along Footscray Road, this new path is located along Dynon Road. It is a permanent structure that replaces a temporary pontoon bridge that has been in place since mid-2020 to enable crews to carry out works on the Wurundjeri Way extension and surfacing works at Dyon Road.
The 3 metre-wide bridge is wider than the original path and pedestrians and cyclists are physically separated from the busy traffic at Dynon Road via a railing - offering a safer and easier journey across Moonee Ponds Creek.
When construction is complete by end 2025, walkers and riders will be able to cross the Moonee Ponds Creek, onto Dynon Road and onwards to North Melbourne, the CBD and the broader cycle network, via a new connection over the North Melbourne railway station corridor.
