The Victoria Street bridge is open!

After three and a half long years since it was closed in January 2022 to make way for the construction of the Parkes Bypass and later a bridge, the thoroughfare between the town centre, and Parkes Christian School and the north-west end of Parkes opened once again to traffic, pedestrians and cyclists on Tuesday night, much to the delight of residents.

The new bridge reconnects Victoria Street to Moulden Street and Back Trundle Road, over the bypass, and provides a safer access to the Christian School.

The northern and southern connections to and from the bypass and the London Road T-intersection near the Parkes Golf Club are still expected to be completed and opened this month.
