Work to replace the Weld Street bridge in Gingin will commence in early April 2026.

There will be some service relocation works carried out in March 2026.

The footpaths on both sides of the bridge will be closed for the duration of the project. The footpath near the weir will remain open to ensure continued public access.

Construction noise will be generated throughout the duration of the bridge replacement.

Community Engagement

A community information session will be held at the Grandville Civic Centre at 5pm on Monday 16 March 2026.

Funding

The project is funded by the Western Australian State Government under the Safer Local Roads and Infrastructure Program.

We are replacing the existing 126-year-old timber bridge on Falls Road with a new concrete culvert crossing over Jane Brook.

A new culvert bridge and footpaths will also be constructed over Jane Brook, to prepare for the Shire of Mundaring’s extension of Brooking Road from Owen Road to Richardson Road.

Work is expected to start in mid-2026 and take about six months to complete. Falls Road Bridge will be closed during construction works, with detours in place for road users and pedestrians.

Local access will be maintained to residential properties.
