1 /5 James Baird: The Werribee River Park track that joins from the Federation Trail is a dead end as the bridge over the river to the Mansion is closed and has been for 2 years following a flood event. Come on PV, get it fixed please.
Posted October 2022
People who may be planning visits to the Werribee Regional Park should be aware of some access restrictions between now and the end of the year.
Recent flooding has caused structural damage to the footbridge over the Werribee River, and the bridge is closed indefinitely.
Update from Parks Victoria
Best we can hope for is Spring 2025
"The proposed repair works to the structure and stream embankment are significant. Repair works need careful planning and design with many site and environmental factors being considered. Flora and fauna, and hydrological assessments have been undertaken. These have provided information required to schedule the repair works, which must occur at a certain time of year. This will minimise the impact on flora and fauna in the area surrounding the bridge and consider expected water levels in the river. An ideal timeframe has been determined and works are expected to take place in Q1 FY 25/26."
