The RWA and its subsidiary company ATP have jointly
committed $6 million towards building a pedestrian and cycle bridge linking
North Eveleigh and the Australian
Technology Park.
The Government’s vision of facilitating a research
and innovation zone stretching from the ATP to the University
of Sydney and the University of Technology
will be significantly enhanced by the creation of new connections.
Future commercial investment in the ATP’s growth will
also be assisted.
The $6 million bridge is proposed to commence at
Traverser 1 in North Eveleigh, near the soon-to-be-completed $40 million
Contemporary Performing Arts Centre and cross the railway corridor to the ATP,
between the Locomotive Workshop and the Large Erecting Shed at North Eveleigh. Completion
is estimated by the end of 2008.
A potential second pedestrian/cycle bridge just west
of Redfern Station and also linking North Eveleigh and the ATP is currently
being considered as part of the joint RailCorp and RWA concept design study for
the Station’s redevelopment.
The existing rail corridor physically disconnects the
northern and southern parts of the Redfern-Waterloo operational area and limits
access to the ATP, the University
of Sydney and other
health and educational facilities.
