Cutler footway closure – mid year
Explore Councils by state
Published: 22 January 2019
The City of Sydney and Woollahra Municipal Council will replace the Cutler footway and refurbish Burton Street Bridge and the surrounding ageing infrastructure in mid 2019.
The new design will provide a new road pavement on top of the existing surface of the bridge, creating a foundation for a new footway.
A program of work has been developed that aims to reduce disruption to the local community. Construction will take place in phases.
Burton Street will need to be partially closed and parts of Boundary Street and Barcom Avenue may need to temporarily be closed for work to take place.
Repairs to cracks and drainage work will have been carried out before the main work starts. Boundary Street beneath the viaduct arch has also been upgraded by installing new lighting under the bridge to improve visibility for people crossing the road, new line markings to increase the separation of cars and pedestrians, and a separation kerb to improve pedestrian safety at a key crossing point.
Main works will begin in mid 2019.
