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.

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.
