Published on 14 May 2025

Horsham Rural City Council has completed the final stage of the Riverside Bridge Pedestrian Attachment project, providing a fully accessible and safe crossing for walkers, runners and cyclists in the area.

While the elevated pedestrian walkway was finished earlier this year, works to construct connecting ramps to the shared-use paths on either side of the bridge have now been completed, marking the official conclusion of the project.

The Riverside Bridge pathway links two key trail networks in Horsham, creating a safer route for pedestrians and reducing potential conflicts with vehicles on the busy crossing.

Mayor Cr Ian Ross said the finished connection would be a welcome improvement for the community.

“This project delivers a long-needed link in our city’s walking and cycling network and ensures that residents of all ages and abilities can safely cross the river at this location,” Cr Ross said.

“This is about improving safety, accessibility and lifestyle for Horsham’s growing community,” he said.

Council thanks the community for its patience while the ramps were constructed and invites residents to explore the upgraded route.
