Tender awarded
Singleton Council has received $5,855,016 from Transport for NSW’s Get NSW Active program to deliver a direct pedestrian and cycling route to connect Hunterview and Singleton Heights with the Singleton town centre.
The bridge was highlighted as the top priority in the Singleton Walking and Cycling Plan adopted in 2025 and will be an important link for about 7,000 people who currently live in Singleton Heights and Hunterview by making walking and cycling safer and more convenient for people to leave the car at home for short trips.
Council awarded the tender for design and construction of the bridge at its June 2026 meeting.
The design includes a 140m suspension bridge crossing the river, as well as a 30m steel bridge over a creek in Col Fisher Park joined by a concrete shared pathway.
There will also be a quietway constructed on Combo Lane as well as CCTV cameras on the bridge approach.
The project was originally slated for completion in 2026 but due to budget delays, construction is expected to begin in November this year with completion in mid-2027.
A quietway is a high-quality mixed traffic treatment where bicycle riders travel in a mixed traffic environment with motorised traffic, and are positioned in the centre of the traffic lane. The key design philosophy of a quietway is the safe integration of people cycling as equal road users to motor vehicles – they are environments where the motor vehicle is a guest on the roadway. This requires drivers to reduce travelling speeds to 30km/h or lower, and discourages them from overtaking through effective design treatments that send visual cues to road users about appropriate speeds and behaviours.
