Additional Details / Instructions
The Epping Bridge Project is needed to support the Epping Town Centre Urban Activation by increasing road capacity for future growth and renewal. The project will provide a well-designed infrastructure element that makes a positive contribution to the Epping Town Centre. The project aligns with future road and rail plans and primarily the planned fourth rail track at Epping Station.
The project is contributing to the performance focus of developing a strong economy by improving traffic flows across the Bridge and enabling the efficient transport of goods and people delivering services. In addition, the project is supporting the focus of creating the metropolitan 30 minute city by improving active transport links to and across the Epping Town Centre, including access to Epping Station and Metro Station. The project is expected to improve the safety of the road network in the locality through greater separation of the road and active transport traffic.
The new bridge will:
- improve safety and reduce traffic congestion across the Epping Road Bridge;
- improve pedestrian and cyclist safety by providing a wider and protected footpath;
- improve access to the town centre for the local community, road users and businesses;
- increase westbound lane capacity through the Epping Town Centre;
- provide for future cycle and pedestrian connectivity through the Epping Town centre; and
- provide a ‘no regrets’ investment that aligns with future road and rail plans.
