    Works are drawing to a close on the Keerrong Bridge project.

    Due to the February and March 2022 events, the collapsed culvert structure, located north of the intersection with Dudgeon Road was replaced with a new bridge. Measuring 7.2m wide, and 16.1m long the new InQuik concrete bridge will restore much needed access via Keerrong Road.

    Construction started back in May of 2022, and the bridge will now undergo a soft opening from Tuesday, 30 August 2022. Temporary traffic control will remain in place until approach guard rail has been installed. An official open date will be advertised as these works are finalised.

    Following the bridge opening, Keerrong Road will be open to through traffic from the Nimbin Road intersection through to the Keerrong Bridge Road intersection.

    As part of the construction, the approaches to the bridge were also replaced with more suitable material and sealed for the safety of motorists.

    There are still traffic control measures in place on Keerrong Road further north of this intersection whilst flood remediation works continue.
