Shared Path Bridge over Rickabys Creek

The construction of a second, non-vehicular bridge over Rickabys Creek at Hawkesbury Valley Way will provide a shared-path crossing linkage between the shared path from Richmond to Windsor – completing this off-road cycling and walking route.

This cycleway project will support Council's vision of providing improved and diverse recreation options for residents and visitors as well as catering for active transport users.

The CONCEPT PLANS for the Shared Path Bridge over Rickabys Creek are now available to be viewed. To view them, visit the documents tab on the right-hand side of the page 👉 or click HERE.

Please note: The construction of the Shared Path Bridge over Rickabys Creek is subject to available funding. Initial project cost estimates indicate a budget overrun due to significant cost escalations since the original Western Sydney Infrastructure Grants funding application. Additional funding has been sought, but the outcome of the funding will determine Council's ability to deliver the cycleway as per the current concept plans. Until such time, Council will finalise the design plans ready for progression, once more funding becomes available. More information will be shared with the community in due course.
