Woodford Footbridge Renewal
Sydney Trains is replacing the pedestrian-over-rail bridge at Woodford to provide continued connectivity between the Great Western Highway and Railway Parade.
The project is currently in design. Once construction starts, the project will take about six months to complete and is expected to be open by Anzac Day 2026.

Project background
In 2016 Sydney Trains assessed the condition of the current Woodford Footbridge. The assessment identified defects on the footbridge and noted that the existing footbridge does not meet current standards.
Some immediate remediation work was carried out to allow the footbridge to remain open in its current condition.
The initial recommendation was for the Bridge to be decommissioned. However, following consultation with Blue Mountains City Council and the wider community, Sydney Trains proposed to replace the existing footbridge with a new bridge.
Project Status
A public survey was conducted in February 2024 regarding the community's preference on an open or enclosed roof option for the new footbridge and calling for naming proposals for the new Woodford footbridge. The results of the survey will be shared shortly.
