Works have begun on the reconstruction of a bridge along Hughes Creek Road in Tarcombe, as part of Council's 2024/2025 Capital Works Program.
The existing bridge, located approximately 7km from the intersection of Highlands Road and Hughes Creek Road, requires reconstruction to ensure ongoing safety and serviceability.
The project involves replacing the current bridge with a new structure, a process that is anticipated to take about eight weeks to complete, weather permitting.
This $429,000 upgrade will improve safety and eliminate the current load limit, allowing the safe passage of agricultural machinery and other heavy vehicles.
A temporary bridge crossing has been installed for passenger and emergency vehicles to use during the works.
Larger vehicles should continue using the detour via Highlands Road and the Hume Freeway.
Council appreciates your patience during these essential works.
