Pedestrian footbridge at Belmont has reopened

We are pleased to advise temporary propping works have since been completed and the footbridge at Croudace Bay Road, Belmont has re-opened for pedestrian access. The temporary works are short-term. We will begin planning a replacement footbridge in the 2025-2026 financial year. To ensure the safety of the community, Council staff will inspect the bridge every two months until the replacement work is completed. 

A routine inspection of a pedestrian footbridge located at Croudace Bay Road, Belmont identified the bridge is no longer fit for purpose and unable to be repaired. The bridge has been closed to the public as of Friday 7 March 2025.  

The safety of the community was the primary concern in making this decision. We are investigating options to either replace the footbridge to ensure the continued safety and convenience of residents. 

Manager Asset Management Karen Partington said we understand this closure may cause some inconvenience, and we sincerely apologise.  

“Our priority is to ensure the safety and well-being of our community, and we are working diligently to find a suitable solution.” 

In the meantime, residents can access an alternate pedestrian bridge on Roe Street, between Lewers Street and Belmont Crescent.
