Timetable Announced for Terania Street Bridge Removal

The long-anticipated demolition of Lismore’s Terania Street rail bridge is set to commence next month, according to Member for Lismore, Janelle Saffn.

Ms. Saffn announced that the removal of the bridge is now one step closer following the publication of the Review of Environmental Factors (REF), which is available for public viewing online.

“The Heritage Council of NSW has granted approval for the bridge’s removal, and Transport for NSW teams are currently fnalizing the necessary processes and documentation to proceed with the project,” Ms. Saffn stated.

Preliminary works, including the establishment of a site compound and the installation of temporary access tracks, are scheduled to begin in late August, subject to weather conditions. The demolition itself is slated to start in September.

“This critical project will signifcantly improve local transport in North Lismore and bring much-needed relief to businesses in the area,” Ms. Saffn added.

“The removal of the bridge will also address issues related to house relocations and the movement of high loads, while facilitating easier boat access during food events.”
