James Ruse Drive Bridge – The bridge across James Ruse Drive is one of six new bridges being built as part of the Parramatta Light Rail project, and will support dual-track light rail and walking and bike-riding path (also known as the active transport link). Progress is well underway with the team busily assembling the pre-fabricated steelwork for the weathered steel arch. Once construction of the arch is complete, James Ruse Drive between Grand Avenue and River Road West will be closed for one night in May 2021 to lift the 430 tonne steel arch into position using two crawler cranes on each side of James Ruse Drive. The final step will be the fit out works which include pouring the track slab and constructing the active transport link on the bridge. The completed bridge will be around 64 metres long and 16 metres wide. Further information about the overnight closure of James Ruse Drive for the bridge lift will be provided closer to the date.

Standard construction hours are 7am to 7pm, Monday to Friday and 7am to 6pm, Saturday and Sunday. Noise intensive work hours are 8am to 6pm, Monday to Friday and 8am to 1pm, Saturday. Most work is carried out during these hours. Working times and conditions are detailed in the project Environmental Protection Licence. Conditions where work may be done outside standard construction hours are: • To mitigate unacceptable risks to safety or traffic flow • To mitigate risks of cracking and defects with large concrete pours • Work is low noise generating – for example surveying, use of hand tools, deliveries and vehicle movements • Delivery of oversized plant or structures requiring special arrangements to transport on public roads • Work carried out by utility authorities under separate environmental approvals and conditions • Emergency work to prevent harm. When work is required at night, noisy work will be carried out for a maximum of four nights in a seven-day period. Noisy work will be done as early in the night shift as possible and respite periods will be provided. Work activities at major intersections will usually be done at night or weekends due to the impacts on traffic necessary to establish a safe work area. A detailed work schedule can be found at parramattalightrail.nsw.gov.au/weekly-works.
