Bridge Replacement Project

The Timber Bridge Replacement Project commenced in October 2024 and is scheduled for completion in late 2025. This project will replace four timber bridges—Harrys Creek Road Bridge (Amamoor), Smith Road Bridge (Woolooga), Inglewood Road Bridge (Monkland), and Howe Road Bridge (Traveston)—with modern concrete structures.

The existing timber bridges have reached the end of their service life. The new concrete structures will reduce ongoing maintenance needs and enhance flood resilience.
