Coppins Crossing Rd Partially Closes for Bridge Project
Coppins Crossing Road, between Holborow Avenue and Hazel Hawke Avenue, will be closed this Thursday, 5 February from 2am-3pm to allow for work on the new Molonglo River Bridge.
During the closure, concrete will be poured on the recently installed precast deck slabs on the bridge structure over Coppins Crossing Road.
The following detours are in place (see attached map) during all closures of Coppins Crossing Road:
The safety of road users, the public, and other personnel who are on and around the project site are of the highest priority.
As it is the first week of school, the road will re-open by 3pm to better support increased school pick-up activity and afternoon commuter traffic.
Further closures will be required later in the year, and the community will be kept informed once dates are finalised.
Motorists are encouraged to rethink their routine, avoid travel during peak periods, where possible, and where travel must occur, plan ahead and leave extra time for your journey.

The construction of the new Molonglo River Bridge and completion of John Gorton Drive will transform the Molonglo region and better connect the suburbs of Molonglo, including Denman Prospect and Whitlam to the rest of Canberra.
