The Balun Bindarray Bridge, formerly the New Grafton Bridge, is a bridge located 70 metres (230 ft) east of the Grafton Bridge and opened to traffic on 12 December 2019. The bridge carries two lanes of Shirley Adams Way (Summerland Way) and has been designed to be increased to four lanes when traffic levels require it.[3][4] It also carries a grade-separated footpath and cycleway.[5][1]
