Toolamba Bridge daytime closure for works

A Greater Shepparton City Council spokesperson said the maintenance work included tightening bolts and the replacement of damaged brackets. The works were anticipated to last about two weeks, weather and river levels permitting.

Motorists were advised to be aware of worksite and signage after-hours and at weekends.

The heritage bridge was re-opened just before Christmas last year after a six-month $1.6 million project to increase its strength.

At the time, the council's projects manager Craig Exton said the repairs meant the bridge could last another 40 years before its next major refurbishment.
