Access to Mittagong during Colo Street bridge closure

Council has been working with contractors to identify a way for pedestrians to travel through Colo Street during the bridge and road resurfacing project.

Unfortunately the size of the construction zone, width of the creek and close proximity of private properties, escalates the cost of a temporary pedestrian bridge and path. This is mainly due to the additional risk that would be taken on by the contractor. It would be very difficult and costly to provide a safe and secure path through the works while machinery is operating as well as after hours when no-one is at the site.

We understand that some residents do not have a car, are ineligible for bus passes or walk into Mittagong for various reasons. To assist those residents Council has organised bus travel vouchers and identified ways for school students to obtain bus passes.
