The new footpath crossing over the western alignment of the new culverts in Davidson Street, Bargara was opened today after the safety railings bordering the lagoon were installed.
Disabled access ramps are included on the approaches and the new footpath will alleviate the need for pedestrians to walk onto the roadway to cross the culvert which had been the case with the old culverts.
Work will continue to complete the eastern footpath over the next few weeks once some utility services have been re-located.
