A new walking and cycling bridge along Dynon Road is now open, making travel to the city easier and safer.
Spanning 440 metres across the rail lines near North Melbourne Station, the bridge gives pedestrians and cyclists a dedicated path separated from the busy traffic on Dynon Road.
The new path gives bike riders from the west two key routes into the city:
- one via Footscray Road, offering direct access to Docklands and central Melbourne’s broader cycling network,
- another via Dynon Road, providing a convenient link to North Melbourne, Carlton, and nearby suburbs.
The Dynon Road walking and cycling bridge provides a more direct safer route for people to walk and ride safely from North Melbourne to the Moonee Ponds Creek Trail and connects with the recently opened Footscray Road walking and cycling bridge.
A more connected west
The full benefits of the 14km of new and upgraded walking and cycling paths will be felt later this year when the West Gate Tunnel Project opens, connecting the inner west suburbs to the city.
Crews are continuing construction and upgrading works to the walking and cycling path network. Some of these works include:
- finishing works on the 2.5km veloway.
- resurfacing the current on ground Footscray Road walking and cycling path, West Melbourne.
- building a new BMX track in the CityLink area.
