Rail bridge upgrade Old Bangalow Road Byron Bay

NSW Government plans to upgrade the Old Bangalow Road rail bridge in Byron Bay.

The upgrades will improve:

The NSW Government is consulting community and stakeholders to understand how the proposed works might impact users and local residents.

About the work

UGL Regional Linx (UGLRL), on behalf of Transport for NSW, will be doing the works.

As a part of the upgrade, UGLRL will replace the current timber bridge with a steel arch bridge and widen the bridge to allow for two-lane traffic.

The proposed work is expected to take place from July 2025 to December 2025.

The proposed work involves:

demolition of the existing structure
construction of a multi-plate arch bridge beneath the current road alignment, involving approximately one metre of excavation
erection of a retaining wall next to the steel arch bridge
upgrading the bridge to current engineering and road standards
relocation of services as necessary.

While this important work takes place, a detour will be in place.

The proposed 5-minute detour is available via Old Bangalow Road, Bangalow Road, and Broken Head Road.
