Yandhai Nepean Crossing

The Yandhai Nepean Crossing extends 258 meters across the Nepean River, connecting the communities of Penrith and Emu Plains with dedicated paths for cyclists and pedestrians.

The bridge construction started in December 2014 with Seymour Whyte managing the project, and Civmec handling the fabrication work at their Tomago factory until completion in 2018.

The bridge name incorporates Darug language word Yandhai, translating to walking in past and present, acknowledging the Indigenous heritage of the Nepean River region.

Visitors access the bridge through Nepean Avenue, making it part of the 6.4-kilometer Bridge to Bridge loop section with connections to Tench Reserve and Regatta Park.

The structure stands as Australia's longest single clear-span footbridge, offering viewing platforms that frame the panorama toward the Blue Mountains National Park.
