The Albanese Labor Government continues to support local councils across regional and rural communities improve the safety and efficiency of their road networks, with over $41 million to flow to 11 projects under the latest Bridges Renewal Program funding.
Upgrades to bridges will stretch across our regions, from Cloncurry in Queensland, Young in NSW, Wallaloo in Victoria, and Indigo Valley in Western Australia – as part of the $85 million per year program.
Single-lane timber bridges will be replaced with double-lane concrete structures, which will be safer and more durable.
The upgraded bridges will increase heavy load capability, improve pedestrian access, and be more resilient to flooding events – ensuring vital community access points remain open.
