Ferry Street Bridge Closing

Ferry Street Bridge in Sydney will close for an extended period of time beginning Monday, March 23.

The closure, to both pedestrian and road traffic, will allow the remediation of the Tar Ponds to begin and will continue until the work is done. There will be blockades near both entrances of the bridge and detour signs will be posted to redirect traffic. Caution lights and barriers will be installed for public safety.

In 2012, a two-lane bridge with sidewalks will be built. The new bridge will have lighting and railing to match Sydney's downtown nautical theme.

The bridge will reopen when it is no longer needed for construction vehicles and the public can use it safely.
