Katchencarry Creek Bridge Replacement

Replacement of the old single lane timber bridge over Katchencarry Creek with a new dual-lane concrete bridge.


Background and Purpose

This project will replace the timber bridge over Katchencarry creek on Upper Brogo Road.

The existing single-lane timber bridge will be replaced with a new 18.5m span dual lane concrete InQuik bridge.

The new bridge will be constructed by Council’s own Bridge Team who have recently completed installing a smaller bridge using the same methods on Wandella Road.

The new concrete bridge will be more resilient to natural disasters such as fire and flooding, ensuring Upper Brogo Road can be reopened sooner following major weather events.

It will also improve traffic flow and will ease future maintenance burden.

Funding

The project is fully funded by the Transport for NSW Fixing Country Bridges Program, with the estimated project cost being $1.8 million.
