BENOLONG BRIDGE – PROPOSED STRUCTURAL REPAIRS
Dubbo Regional Council (DRC) are investigating a solution to the structural integrity of the existing Benolong Bridge.
Currently there is a 15 tonne gross load limit on the bridge following the identification of age related defects.
Following a report to the Infrastructure, Planning and Environment Committee on 13 July, Council will go ahead with temporary repair works which are expected to be completed by mid September (resources permitting).
The repairs will allow heavy vehicles to use the existing timber bridge until the new bridge is completed in 2024.
The 15 tonne load limit will remain in place until the repair works are complete and the bridge is signed off as being structurally adequate.
Updates to the project will be provided through the Existing Benolong Timber Bridge Temporary Load Limits page on the Your Say platform at yoursay.dubbo.nsw.gov.au.
