Cabbage Tree Basin footbridge (between the townships of Bundeena and Maianbar) will be closed between 8am and 4pm on Monday 27 June and Tuesday 28 June 2022. The bridge will remain open outside these times.
The main scope of works involve removing the bridge decking and welding cross bracing to the frame to increase stability. Improvements will also be made to the bridge supports to reduce restraint of the footbridge fixings, and address erosion around the abutments. These works are essential and will improve the structural performance of the bridge.
NPWS appreciates your patience while this important work takes place and apologises for the inconvenience caused.
