Work will begin on improving three bridges on key transport routes in Tasmania’s Derwent Valley this week.
Bridge crossings on the Styx River will be replaced and the crossing on Gordon River Road will be strengthened to improve the level of service for heavy vehicle freight and community access.
The Australian and Tasmanian governments, and Hydro Tasmania, have allocated a combined $13 million to the projects, which are expected to be finished by April 2025.
The Australian Government has committed $5 million under the Bridges Renewal Program.
Preparation works began on all three bridges from Wednesday, 7 February 2024, before construction started on Tuesday, 13 February 2024.
Works will take place between 7:00 am and 6:00 pm, Monday to Friday with temporary traffic changes in place.
