This project involves the replacement and upgrading of Bridge 38 on the Chepstowe-Pittong Rd.

The bridge was built in 1950 over an unnamed creek that the Chepstowe-Pittong Rd crosses. The replacement of this bridge is part of Council’s plan to improve the safety and capacity of our local road network. Due to the old bridge's load limit of 30 tons, we’ve had to restrict access to the bridge as today’s oversized vehicles are much heavier than in the past.

The new bridge, which is now completed, is a design called an Integral Concrete Bridge. It has been built to a SM1600 standard, which means all oversized vehicles (including B-doubles) can use it.

The budget for this project was $452,900 and the funding has come from the Federal Government’s Roads to Recovery Program. The contractor was Bridge & Marine Engineering.
