Blind Creek footbridge temporarily closed

Listen

What are they doing? 

Melbourne Water will this week begin modification works to strengthen and extend the life of the Blind Creek footbridge at Fairpark Reserve. BPC Projects has been appointed to complete the works on behalf of Melbourne Water.

How long will it take? 

Site set up will begin Tuesday 23 April, while works will officially begin Monday 29 April. Melbourne Water estimate the works will take 10-12 weeks to complete (weather and conditions permitting), with the bridge and trail re-opening following this.

Some minor noise is expected from construction machinery, vehicles, and equipment during this time. Construction hours will be from 7am–6pm Monday to Friday, and 7am–1pm on Saturdays. Quiet work and other critical activities (e.g. concrete pouring) may occur outside these hours. 

Detours

During this time, cyclists and pedestrian traffic will be diverted via a temporary track through the new car park at Fairpark Reserve. Water barriers and accompanying signage will be used to guide cyclists and pedestrian traffic within the car park.

We thank you for your patience and co-operation while Melbourne Water undertakes these works to re-open a safer bridge as soon as possible. For more information and live updates, visit Melbourne Water’s webpage.
