Inland Rail unveils latest designs for Hamilton and Short Street bridges. Image\/Inland Rail<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Inland Rail<\/a> has shared the latest designs for two new replacement<\/a> bridges in Broadford and is inviting the local community to share their feedback before construction begins next year.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Hamilton and Short Street bridges will be replaced, and the railway tracks lowered to allow sufficient clearance for double-stacked freight trains to pass safely.<\/p>\n

New visualisations highlight upgraded bridges with new traffic connections, improved pedestrian safety, and the reinstated Rupert Street playground.<\/p>\n

Other community benefits of the latest designs include: a safer intersection at Hamilton and High streets, improved layout at Catherine Court, traffic calming measures when approaching Broadford, a gateway creating a welcome entry to town and shared use paths on both bridges and a network of connected pathways.<\/p>\n

Ed Walker, Inland Rail Delivery Director Beveridge to Albury said the organisation has worked closely with the local community to design safer and more accessible bridges across the railway line in Broadford.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe three Broadford bridges are being designed as a \u2018family\u2019, incorporating a consistent form, shape and colour into the design of the bridges,” he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cPedestrians will be safely separated from the roadway and connected to new pathways to make it easier to move around town.<\/p>\n

\u201cOver the next month we encourage the community to tell us what they think about the new designs.\u201d<\/p>\n

The community is also invited to have their say on landscaping, bridge artwork, playground equipment and the design of town entry signs.<\/p>\n

Updated designs for the third Broadford replacement bridge at Marchbanks Road will be shared next year.<\/p>\n

Inland Rail and construction partner, John Holland will be available to discuss the latest designs, outline the next steps and collect community feedback at a series of information sessions and online until Sunday 15 December.<\/p>\n
