Construction is underway for O’Mara Road pedestrian and cycle bridge and shared pathway.
The objective of the project is to provide a high quality active transport connection linking Yarle Court to the north and Cottontree Drive to the south. Once completed, the bridge and pathway will fill a missing link within the O’Mara Road corridor pathway, provide a safer crossing of New Settlement Road and support the continuation of the O’Mara Road fauna movement corridor.
The pathway connection will also include:
- lighting to improve pedestrian safety
- landscaping and tree planting
- fauna movement infrastructure to allow animals to cross New Settlement Road more safely
- fencing and anti-throw barriers
- design features to ensure an attractive facility which adds value to the area.
