Detour plans:

Detour plans and QR codes linked to google maps will be installed along the tracks.  

Timeframe:

Work is expected to be completed in December 2021.

History:

These bridges were constructed in the early 1920’s as part of the original railway construction. The largest structure, Bridge 9293, is noted as a rare example of heritage timber bridge construction and is planned to be remediated to allow a fusion design which complies with current safety standards while embracing its heritage features. The three smaller bridges will be upgraded to comply with current safety standards.This project has been funded under round two of the Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program undertaken with support from the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Communications.
