The Ask

The City of Casey is advocating for funding to deliver a business case and feasibility study, followed by design and construction of a new pedestrian and cycling bridge over the Princes Freeway at Soldiers Road, with integrated shared paths and upgrades at the Soldiers Road / Kangan Drive intersection.

Currently, only a single narrow footpath is provided along the Soldiers Road bridge over the Princes Freeway, forcing more than 200 students and pedestrians onto the roadway during peak periods.

Upgrades at this location will provide safe alternatives to driving, reduce congestion, and enable efficient movement to Beaconhills College, Haileybury College and through the Berwick Health and Education Precinct.

Note: This project is subject to a feasibility study.
