Historic Nowra Bridge repurposing
Community update
Review of Environmental Factors published for the historic Nowra Bridge
An environmental assessment has been completed for the historic Nowra Bridge which will be repurposed as a pedestrian and cyclist pathway.
The historic landmark will require essential maintenance and repair work prior to repurposing.
The REF assessed the environmental impacts of the proposed repurposing and repair work. It assessed the impacts on the landscape, as well as water quality, noise and vibration, biodiversity, and socio-economic factors.
Work to repurpose the bridge will involve prioritised repainting of the bridge, removal of the attached footpath, and improved lighting. It will also involve critical repairs to damaged and degraded steel elements and installing new features so the bridge meets current safety standards suitable for use by pedestrians and cyclists.
During this time the bridge will remain closed to the public.
A copy of the REF is available on the project web page, and at the link below.
Next steps
Early work is expected to start later this year. The community will be updated prior to work starting and as the project progresses.
