Works to demolish the Parry Street footbridge in Fremantle, will begin on Monday 5 August 2024 with the project expected to be complete by Thursday 8 August.
The Parry Street footbridge has been closed since mid-2022 after structural assessments determined that the bridge is unsafe for use.
Pedestrians can continue to cross over the rail at Fremantle Station and Peter Hughes Dr. Crossing at these points does not add any additional distance to travel for those people heading to or from Fremantle. Wayfinding signage is in place in the area to direct pedestrians to these crossing points.
The PTA is currently undertaking long-term planning for the area to identify optimal connection points over the rail that will service the community well into the future.
