Hunts Creek Bridge
The replacement of Hunts Creek Bridge is vital to ensure the safety of our community. This project will deliver essential works to replace the existing twin stormwater culverts (circa 1960s) which have reached the end of their serviceable life. This project is supported by Local, State and Federal Governments through cooperation and/or funding. The schedule is accordance with the traffic conditions determined by Transport for NSW.
City of Parramatta thanks our local community and business owners for their patience as the Hunts Creek Bridge replacement progresses.
We’re working with Transport for NSW to maintain two-way traffic on North Rocks Road wherever possible during this complex project. Updates, including how to access local businesses, are provided at every stage. We appreciate your understanding as we deliver this essential upgrade to keep our community safe and connected. Our team is committed to completing the works as quickly and safely as possible.

About the Project
North Rocks Road upgrade – a new $11.5M bridge at Hunts Creek, North Parramatta.
A new $11.5M single-span concrete bridge and associated roadworks will be constructed at Hunts Creek on North Rocks Road, North Parramatta.
The upgrade will be completed over 18 months* with altered traffic arrangements in place for the duration of the program.
The new bridge will be 14.4m in length and will span approximately 28m. It will integrate into the existing geometry of North Rocks Road and will carry two lanes of traffic in the southbound direction and one lane of traffic in the northbound direction.
A 3m-wide shared pedestrian and cycle path will feature on the eastern side of the bridge, and a 3.6m-wide shared path will be installed on the western side.
The removal of the culverts will increase the stormwater capacity of the creek, potentially improving the flood conditions on North Rocks Road.
The upgrade will also provide improved local cycling and pedestrian connections.
While some disruption will be unavoidable, this work is necessary to ensure the safety of our community, and every effort will be made to minimise traffic congestion and impact on residents.
The schedule is subject to Transport for NSW approvals, extreme weather, and site conditions.
Project Funding
The $11.5M Hunts Creek Bridge project is jointly funded by the Australian and State Governments in association with the City of Parramatta Council. Federal, State and Local Government logos.
