Fixing Country Bridges

Chevalleys Bridge.jpg

Council secured a combined $46 million under Rounds 1 and 2 of the NSW Government Fixing Country Bridges Program. This funding is allowing us to replace 36 timber bridges with safer, and more resilient concrete structures.

Due to the large quantity of concurrent works to be delivered by the program deadlines the bridges are being constructed by a combination of Council’s bridge crews and Contractors.

The status of the works on each of the bridges is indicated on the map below. 



Where are the bridges up too?

Green – Bridge is completed and open to traffic
