Montacute Road Bridge Reconstruction Project
The bridge over Fifth Creek, near 780 Montacute Road, Montacute, will be replaced. Work will start this Monday, 13 January, and is expected to continue until early March. The bridge will remain open during this period, but various speed and lane restrictions will be in place. Please plan your travel accordingly and allow extra time for potential delays.
Project Details:
Civil Services is undertaking a project to reconstruct the Montacute Road bridge over Fifth Creek, Montacute. The existing bridge is in poor condition and requires replacement to ensure safety and functionality.
The project will involve constructing a new road bridge with a cast in-situ reinforced concrete base slab, arch culvert, wing walls, headwalls, and a structural bridge barrier. To minimise disruptions, the new bridge will be built underneath the existing structure, allowing Montacute Road to remain operational throughout the construction period.
Work is scheduled to begin on Monday, 13 January, and is expected to be completed by early March, weather permitting. During this time, there will be speed and lane restrictions on Montacute Road, with a single lane closure when necessary. The contractor will coordinate the work to manage traffic movements effectively.
Residents in the immediate area will receive a letter with the contractor's contact details for any inquiries.
Asset Location: Approximately 780 Montacute Road, near the intersection with Smiths Gully Road.
