Bennelong Bridge
Project overview
Bennelong Bridge, previously called Homebush Bay Bridge, officially opened to the public in late May 2016.
The bridge stretches approximately 300 metres across Homebush Bay between Rhodes and Wentworth Point and provides two bus only lanes as well as a shared cyclist and pedestrian path.

Planning agreement
We are inviting the public to inspect a proposed amendment to the original Homebush Bay Bridge Planning Agreement between Transport for NSW and Fairmead Business Pty Limited.
The draft amendment of the Planning Agreement (PDF, 941Kb) and associated explanatory note (PDF, 135Kb) are available for viewing between 24 August and 23 September.
