Transport for NSW (transport) is seeking your feedback on the preliminary concept design for the pedestrian and cyclist shared path connection and bridge over Mount Ousley Road.
Transport has been carrying out early design and planning work for a shared path connection over Mount Ousley Road, including a bridge that will provide a new, accessible and safe active transport connection for people walking and cycling between the University of Wollongong and Wollongong TAFE precincts and suburbs to the north.
The preliminary concept design for the shared path connection and bridge includes:
- a new accessible four-metre-wide shared path for pedestrians and cyclists that incorporates a bridge over Mount Ousley Road adjacent to McMahon Street
- connections from the southern side of Mount Ousley Road to other planned shared paths across the M1 Princes Motorway and towards Wollongong TAFE
- a designated, accessible, raised pedestrian crossing at Dumfries Avenue, approximately 120 metres west of McMahon Street
- a 130-metre-long shared path along the southern side of Dumfries Avenue, connecting the new bridge to the new pedestrian crossing
- traffic calming measures along Dumfries Avenue to the east and west of the crossing, to provide for a safer road environment
- stairs, with a wheeling channel for cyclists to more easily move bikes up and down the stairs, helping to provide access to the north and east
- landscaping and revegetation, along with urban design treatments.
You are invited to have your say by Friday 2 May 2025.
