What's happening?
Water Corporation is replacing Bridge 187 with a new wider single-span, single-carriageway concrete structure to enhance safety and improve infrastructure reliability.
This upgrade will improve safety and accessibility for residents and the surrounding community. The works will be delivered by Water Corporation’s authorised contractor as part of the Oakford Bridge Upgrade project, which is proudly supported by the Commonwealth.
The road will be closed between King Road and Kargotich Road, with detours and closure shown below:
Why is this happening?
Originally constructed in 1970, the bridge has been deemed no longer suitable to safely accommodate current and future traffic volumes on Orton Road
When is it happening?
Late 2025- late 2026.
Further updates will be shared once the construction timeline has been confirmed.
