The footbridge that crossed the stormwater drain near the Yarra Glen and Melrose Drive in Curtin was torn free during a storm on December 12 last year.
It went on a wild one-kilometre ride, tearing up the concrete and stone of the stormwater channel before coming to rest in a twisted metal heap downstream.
A year on, Territory and Municipal Services crews are installing a replacement bridge, which has been specially reinforced to protect it from a future surge.
The new bridge will be open before Christmas.
