🌿 Walmer Street Bridge, located on the Yarra River, is long overdue to be replaced by a crossing for the changing needs of Abbotsford & Kew

@XtrapolisLegs Walmer Street Bridge ended up being heritage protected with two new wider landbridges despite a long community campaign. Just amazing how priorities for local medium size infrastructure get fobbed off @bikeboroondara @WalmerStBridge https://t.co/mG72WG3QG1

Merry Xmas Abbotsford & Kew 🎄 Walmer St Bridge is F I N A L L Y re-opening, Thur or Fri? Could of had fit-for-purpose crossing (promised in 2018) built within that 18 months instead of old heritage listed bridge with new north/south approaches @WalmerStBridge @bikeboroondara

@WalmerStBridge @BBugVic @StreetsYarra @bikemelbourne @MerribekBUG @bicycle_network @DarebinStreets @UserBicycle Hoo boy, almost 18 month closure on one of inner Melbourne's crucial river crossings with ye olden Walmer Street Bridge now heritage listed. @Boroondara has plans for a new river crossing, when is that going to eventuate? 😳

Finally a bridge update: 'Construction works are set to begin at southern end of the Walmer Street Bridge in May 2023'

'Salta anticipates they will complete their works at the southern end of the bridge by Dec 2023 allowing access to the bridge again'

Part of new connection to Walmer St Bridge/Main Yarra Trail @ 649 Victoria St, Abbotsford. Northern land bridge due for completion in July/August 2023 by @Boroondara. Wouldn't it be great if Salta finished work so access is returned without *more* delays https://t.co/OzWbr8s08e

@peterc_150 @MorelandBUG @Mon4Kooyong @JoshFrydenberg Walmer Street land bridge section being rebuild, rest of the bridge remains in place as not fit for purpose connection for pedestrians and riders between Kew and Abbotsford, due to it being recently heritage listed. A very poor outcome @WalmerStBridge @BBugVic
