2023/24 Reedy Creek bridge replacement is complete

The Reedy Creek Bridge replacement is complete. The new bridge has a 100-year design life and a load capacity of up to 68-tonne and will be less prone to impacts of fires and floods.

This was the last bridge to be completed through the current budget, with nine timber bridges replaced in the 2023/24 financial year.

East Gippsland Shire Council's timber bridge replacement program is nearing completion. In the past 9 years over 153 timber bridges have been replaced with steel and concrete bridges, or where possible, major culverts.
