Update - August 2024

Council is conducting weekly inspections of the bridge to ensure the safety of all bridge users.

We check structural elements of the bridge, making sure that connections from beams to the substructure to the deck are all sound, as well as the deck surface . If any abnormalities are identified, they will be promptly analysed and actions can be determined.

Previous detailed inspections on the bridge in 2007 and 2012 made recommendations on works to prolong its safe working life, which were completed. Since then further works were undertaken in 2016 to replace some bearers and decking timbers.

We again ask the community to observe the 20km/h speed limit and 15-tonne load limit. These measures will help extend the lifespan of the bridge until it can be replaced.
