Construction of the Nepean Avenue Pathway project is almost complete. The contractor has demobilised from the site, all construction fencing has come down and the pedestrian and traffic diversions have been removed.

The final touches to the project will be added in January 2025, but the good news for the community is that new pathway is ready to use – just in time for the summer holidays.

Pedestrians are encouraged to use the new pathway while walking along Nepean Avenue and completing the Great River Walk loop. According to Transport for NSW guidelines, pedestrians include people who are:

• walking or running

• pushing a bicycle

• in a wheelchair

• using a mobility scooter or motorised wheelchair

• using a skateboard, foot scooter or rollerblades.

Children under 16 and supervising adults can also ride bicycles on the pathway. Riders must keep left and give way to pedestrians when riding on a pathway.

Permanent bollards will be installed along the pathway in January 2025. These bollards will provide visual and physical separation between pedestrians and motorists. Some temporary bollards have been installed in the interim

This project is proudly funded by the NSW Government in association with Penrith City Council.
