The $220 million upgrade of Epping Bridge is another step closer today with the tender awarded for key early delivery activities on the project.
The project is jointly funded by the Australian and New South Wales governments - each committing $110 million - to ease congestion, reduce travel times and improve safety for all road users.
The proposed new bridge will allow for an additional westbound lane and right turn lane southbound onto Blaxland Road to improve traffic flow and safety.
There will also be widening to the eastbound and westbound lanes as well as the pedestrian and bicycle shared path. New safety screens will be installed on the bridge.
The project complements the road and intersection upgrades completed by Transport for New South Wales in 2018 to alleviate traffic congestion in the Epping town centre.
