Wyndham council has announced it expects to complete works on three pedestrian bridges in Truganina by the end of the year.
Located within the Allura estate, the three new crossings will go over Doherty’s Drain and have been designed to make the estate better navigable by foot or bicycle.
The prefabricated bridges, which were delivered to site late last month, will link Akkersley Drive to Rockgarden Drive, Malmaison Crescent to Bolivar Esplanade, and Neroli Crescent to Forsyth Road.
Bridge installation is now underway, alongside works on connecting pathways and boardwalks.
The project replaces the current mix of stepping stones and informal tracks, providing safe, reliable access across the creek.
Council says this has been done to encourage more walking, jogging and cycling through the reserve.
These new bridges are part of Wyndham City’s $165.1 million capital works program for 2025-26, which is focused on better open spaces, improved roads and projects that strengthen safety and liveability.
Deputy mayor Preet Singh said works will benefit his community in numerous ways.
“These are great additions to the community that will make life easier–easier access to the parks, the schools, the creeks and bridging the gap all the way,” Cr Singh said.
Mayor Josh Gilligan said he is looking forward to showcasing some of “these terrific projects” across the next 12 months.
