The eight piers that will support the new Fyans Street<\/a> rail bridge have been installed, as work continues on construction of the bridge structure that will replace the roundabout and level crossing.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/span>The central steel bridge span is taking shape at a temporary site near the level crossing, one of three pieces that will form the rail bridge over Fyans Street.<\/p>\n

The 400 tonne steel girders – that arrived in sections from Tasmania in March – have been connected by 27 smaller cross girders that form the base of the bridge.<\/p>\n

In recent weeks 114 precast concrete panels that form the floor of the steel girder bridge have been installed, with each panel weighing nearly one tonne.<\/p>\n

The central steel bridge will be flanked by two super T bridges that will raise the rail over the realigned Fyans Street intersection once the roundabout and level crossing are removed for good later this year.<\/p>\n

The concrete deck of the bridges have now been poured, with work progressing on access walkways and kerbs before the full bridge is moved into place.<\/p>\n

A new rail bridge will replace the Fyans Street level crossing, simplifying the five-way intersection.<\/p>\n

Extending Fyans Street to Breakwater Road will improve traffic flow for the more than 17,000 vehicles that use the intersection each day.<\/p>\n

The level crossing and roundabout removal will allow for improvements along Carr Street. These include a new landscaped walking and cycling path connecting to the Bellarine Rail Trail as well as new public open space under and adjacent to the new bridge.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
