Northern Bridge

In 2014 we completed work to replace a single lane bridge on Shone Avenue with a wider bridge allowing two-way traffic. The bridge was raised 2.7 metres, making Shone Avenue more accessible during periods of heavy rain.

The alignment of the road was changed to improve lines of sight and increase safety. We now have shared paths on both sides of the road to provide better safety and access for pedestrians and cyclists.

Southern Bridge

In 2015 we replaced an old culvert with a new four-lane bridge on Shone Avenue. The bridge is higher, removing the dip in the road.

This new bridge allows better access during periods of heavy rain and flooding. The works also included kerb and guttering, and extension of the shared path.

Both projects were funded by the Australian Government's Building Better Regional Cities Programme (BBRCP).
