Missing links in-corridor works

The missing links in-corridor works package involves the construction of a shared path, lighting and landscaping mostly within the light rail corridor and adjacent land.

The missing links in-corridor package consists of two discrete areas known as the central and southern links. The central links area extends from north of Parramatta Road to just south of Old Canterbury Road. The southern links area extends from Weston Street to Hercules Street.

The missing links works include:

  • A cantilevered shared boardwalk under Parramatta Road and along the Hawthorne Canal (in progress)
  • A new path and upgraded natural areas in Gadigal Reserve (in progress)
  • A tunnel under Longport Street (preparation in progress)
  • A new path, parklands and natural areas in the light rail corridor near Lewisham West (in progress)
  • A signalised crossing at Old Canterbury Road including the closure of Weston Street (upcoming, from early 2025)
  • A tunnel under Davis Street and a new boardwalk from Davis Street to Johnson Park (in progress)
  • Upgrade of Johnson Park including an upgraded path and playground (upcoming, from 21 October 2024)
  • A tunnel under Constitution Road and an elevated pathway through the light rail corridor from Constitution Road to New Canterbury Road (in progress)
  • A new path and upgraded natural areas in the light rail corridor near Hercules Street (in progress)

Council has engaged Gartner Rose as the contractor for the design and construction of the GreenWay in-corridor works. Construction has commenced in late August 2023 and is anticipated to be completed in 2025.
