In addition to a new bridge, the rail line will be lowered by 2.8 metres and the tracks realigned to allow for the safe passage of double-stacked freight trains.
From Monday 8 January 2024, the bridge will be closed with vehicle and pedestrian detours put in place.
Pedestrians will be directed via the One Mile Creek bike path or the Docker Street footbridge.
Inland Rail and construction contractor McConnell Dowell will hold information sessions on the corner of Murphy and Reid streets to share the design, discuss the detours and answer questions on Tuesday 12 December and Wednesday 20 December between 11am and 1pm.
