The project was difficult because the bridge deck is very high above the usual water level and deep excavation is required to build the foundations and supports.

The current bridge needed a lot of ongoing maintenance, particularly to the 6m tall timber supports.

It is more cost effective to replace the timber bridge with a new concrete one.

Some benefits of the project included:

  • The new bridge will cost less to maintain and will be bushfire resilient 
  • A concrete bridge means that the road can remain open without the need for a load limits.
 

This project was funded through two Australian Government programs. The Roads to Recovery Program and Bridges Renewal Program.
