Project
Medlow Bath Station Upgrade and Great Western Highway Pedestrian Bridge

The project scope encompassed the full lifecycle of delivery, including design, procurement, construction, testing, commissioning, integration, operational readiness and handover.
The bridge spanning the highway is a complex, curved structural steel structure comprising a fully welded box section cantilevering from a circular concrete support on one side of the highway, extending over a single support pier on the opposite side before anchoring into a supporting ramp abutment.
Set within a UNESCO World Heritage and NSW State Heritage-listed setting, the project presented significant architectural, engineering and construction challenges. The completed bridge demonstrates exceptional architectural expression, cutting-edge engineering and construction excellence, delivering a distinctive and enduring piece of infrastructure within a highly sensitive heritage environment.
