Bungabbee Bridge replacement update: June 2021

Work is progressing well on the bridge replacement. We've included some photos to the right hand side to show the works, for those that are interested.

Pre-construction activities such as compound set up, vegetation works, piling pad construction, temporary track construction and erosion and sediment controls are currently being undertaken.

Following this work, a piling contractor will undertake pile installation. We are expecting this activity to take 1 week, weather dependent.

The existing bridge will remain open until commissioning of the new bridge. The temporary track is for construction traffic plant/machinery only.

The current program suggests an approximate 16-week construction time frame starting from early June. Commencement of work was delayed due to weather, contractor availability and conflicting project priorities.

Below is a summary of the different activities that will take place on this project, in sequential order:

• Preconstruction;

• Earthworks & piling;

• Abutment construction;

• Beam/ girder installation;

• Deck construction;

• Earthworks/ backfilling & drainage;

• Removal of existing structure;

• Road furniture; &

• Demobilisation.
