"It will allow safe and direct access between Albion Park Rail and the Croome Regional Sporting Complex, which is a real focal point for the area," Kiama MP Gareth Ward said.
The bridge also features a shared pathway for pedestrians and cyclists, and artwork on the safety screens that was inspired by a bowling cricketer.
It is made up of 12 Super T concrete girders, each weighing 52 tonnes.
The first bridge - which will form the southbound off ramp into Albion Park - was opened in May this year.
