Step in the right direction for Gordonvale overpas

Published: 14 October 2020. (Note: information was correct at date of publication but may have since been changed or superseded.)

A proposed pedestrian overpass to be built as part of the $481 million Bruce Highway upgrade from Edmonton to Gordonvale has been given in principle Council support.

When complete, the overpass will provide a crucial pedestrian link for residents on the western side of the Bruce Highway into the centre of Gordonvale.

However, the location of the overpass requires Transport and Main Road (TMR) use Council land adjacent to Charlton St in Gordonvale and within the Alley Park (west) Sporting Master Plan for the footpath connections.

The impact on Alley Park (west) will prompt a revision of the Master Plan, which will occur in the next financial year.

This resolution is to be ratified at the next Ordinary Meeting of Council, to be held on 28 October 2020.
