Motorists who travel on some of Australia's oldest and narrowest bridges will benefit from new Australian Government-funded upgrade and replacement projects.
The Australian Government is investing over $50.3 million towards 23 projects under the Bridges Renewal Program. This funding is part of the Government's ongoing commitment of $85 million per year to the program.
This program provides funding to address issues where bridges are no longer fit for purpose, often involving the replacement of single-lane timber bridges with safer and more durable double-lane, modern concrete structures.
The Bridges Renewal Program provides funding to state, territory and local governments for projects that upgrade and replace bridges to enhance access.
