WORK on new pedestrian bridges over Kananook Creek has finished after three-and-a-half months of construction.

The bridges – at Beach St and Fiocchi Ave – replaced ageing structures for safety reasons at a cost of $280,000.

Then Frankston mayor Cr Sandra Mayer officially opened the bridges last Monday (9 November) alongside representatives from the Long Island Residents Group, the Kananook Creek Association and Cr Colin Hampton.

“We are proud that we have been able to replace the ageing historical pedestrian bridges on Kananook Creek with timber replicas of the originals,” Cr Mayer said.

“We have received really positive feedback from local residents who are delighted that they will be able to continue experiencing the stunning natural environment of Kananook Creek from a beautiful vantage point.”
