Kanes Bridge is temporarily closed

Kanes Bridge will be temporarily closed from Saturday 27 June 2026. 

Recent work revealed the need for further structural assessments of the bridge. It will remain closed as a precautionary measure. Investigations will help ensure the bridge is safe and guide future works.

We are working to reinstate access as soon as possible. We thank the community for their patience during this temporary closure.

For your safety, please do not access the bridge while it is closed. Barriers will be in place, and an alternate route is available for public use.
During the closure, there will be no pedestrian or bicycle access across the bridge.

An alternate walking/cycling route to the other side of the bridge is available via Studley Park Road, the Main Yarra Trail past Dights Falls and Deep Rock Road.
See the map below for detour information.
