Bicycle Victoria is campaigning for a connection between Winton Rd and Warrigal Rd, to complete the gap in the trail at this point. It is proposed that the path would continue along the creek parallel to the Malvern Public Golf Course, spanning the gap from Winton Rd to Warrigal Rd. The Solway St footbridge would be replaced at a point 10m further to the east from the original. , Bicycle Victoria is a self-funded community organisation focussed on cycling, with offices located in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. ...
The length of the gap was exacerbated for over a year, following the closure of the Solway St footbridge due to storm damage, sometime before April 2006. The old bridge was shored up and reopened in June 2007. A replacement bridge has been under discussion since at least 2003.[4][5][6]As of April 2008 it remains under discussion.[7][8][9]
