Airport Drive Shared path (Alexandra Canal Cycleway) Tempe NSW

​Location: Tempe NSW
Infrastructure: Bi-directional shared path - Cycleway
Project History: Airport Drivey Cycleway was built as a condition of consent for the M5East motorway project and was constructed in 2001-2003. It runs from the Giovanni Brunetti (Marsh Street) bridge over the Cooks River to Coward Street. ​ 
Open Date: February 2003
Concept Design: Sustainable Transport Consultants
Client: Road Transit Authority, NSW (RTA)
Challenges:
  • Route alignment changed from running alongside the freight rail line to along the canal due space restrictions sufficient where the billboards are
  • Some sections were too narrow and required piles with a bridge structure to provide enough width without impacting the heritage listed canal wall
  • Head clearance and path width underneath the freight rail bridge which meant the path surface was below high tide and so needed a specialised drainage solution
Future Plans:
  • Further connections north along the Alexandra Canal as a condition of redevelopment of land
  • Giovanni Bridge
