Blind Creek Footbridge closed for repairs

The Blink Creek footbridge is temporarily closed due to a safety upgrade.

Melbourne Water made the decision to close the footbridge while safety improvements are made to the pedestrian bridge in Fairpark Reserve, after recent inspections showed some parts of the bridge needed upgrading.

The bridge will be closed until safety upgrade works are complete and while the bridge is closed Wayne Avenue and Fairpark Reserve can be accessed via Blink Creek Trail, Manuka Drive and the gravel track that runs along the creek.

Signage has been placed at the reserve with details.
