MidCoast Council
A temporary solution to the Tiri Bridge issue is on its way.
The bridge was washed away during the May 2025 floods and there has been no functional crossing in that vicinity since.
Following extensive technical investigations, environmental and safety assessments, MidCoast Council will restore connection with a temporary bridge while investigations into a permanent replacement continue.
Planning and preliminary work for the temporary bridge are already underway with Council working with all relevant stakeholders and agencies to expedite the delivery of the project.
The temporary crossing will have a load limit restriction equivalent to a large SUV with a box trailer. Larger vehicles and trucks will have to continue to use the alternative routes through the likes of Gloucester and Wingham.
Crews are currently working on the logistics involved in keeping the temporary bridge accessible when construction starts on the replacement bridge.
Construction of the temporary bridge is expected to start in late March and finish in June, weather permitting.
