Warburton Rail Trail (Vic) Maroondah Highway Bridge at Lilydale
Readers and rail trail users everywhere will be delighted to learn that construction of this bridge is due to commence late this year following recent council approval of its construction.
This bridge will be a vital walking and cycling conduit across the very busy Maroondah Highway. It will enhance the safety and usability of the Warburton rail trail.Funding is in hand and the full support of the Yarra Ranges Council is in place. The design of this 90 meter long steel bridge will incorporate elements of previous railway bridges and will reflect its role as a gateway to Lilydale and the Yarra Valley.
More details on the funding and background are in our January news items
