Victoria Park Drive and Belmont Park – New Footbridge

Main Roads have advised that work will start this month and continue into mid-2025 to upgrade the road network, and pedestrian and cyclist facilities adjacent to Belmont Park Racecourse and Graham Farmer Freeway in Victoria Park.

These upgrades will accommodate growing road user volumes in the local area, across various modes of transport. As part of the project, Main Roads is managing works to construct a new footbridge over Graham Farmer Freeway, and modify the Victoria Park Drive and Goodwood Parade road layout as part of the redevelopment of Belmont Park Racecourse.

Work Hours

In general, road and bridge works will be undertaken Monday to Saturday, between 7am and 7pm.

  • Nightworks – May – At times, nightworks will be required to reduce the impacts on road users, and facilitate access to the works site for barrier and bridge installation. During May, nightworks will occur Sunday to Friday for: Road barrier installation on Graham Farmer Freeway – from Sunday 12th May
  • Dayworks – May – During May, road users will see changes to the landscape surrounding the existing Victoria Park Drive bridge. Dayworks will occur Monday to Saturday.

The works are being undertaken in accordance with approved Noise Management and Traffic Management plans. Work-related noise will be minimised where ever possible, but may include machinery movements and operations including reverse beepers.

Over the 12-month construction period, road and bridge works will include (see map):

  • Construction of a new pedestrian bridge over Graham Farmer Freeway.
  • Removal of the existing footpath on the Victoria Park Drive Bridge, and replacing it with an additional southbound traffic lane.
  • Permanent closure of Goodwood Parade westbound from Victoria Park Drive, with the new Seabiscuit Drive providing access to Belmont Park from Victoria Park Drive.
