Dungog Shire Council has resolved to award the tender for the detailed design and construction of the new Clarence Town Bridge to Bridgeworks (Aust) Pty Ltd.
Council’s Infrastructure & Assets team will work with Bridgeworks (Aust) Pty Ltd to complete the design and oversee the construction and delivery of the new structure.
The $20.6 million project is being jointly funded by the Australian and NSW Governments.
Once completed, the new Clarence Town Bridge will be a dual-lane structure approximately 135 metres in length and 13.0 metres wide and will include a pedestrian walkway, upgraded road approaches and approach footpaths. The new bridge will enhance access over the Williams River to Clarence Town, in addition to the heritage-listed Brig O’Johnston timber truss bridge.
It is anticipated the final design will be completed over the coming months and construction will begin later this year, which is likely to take up to 24 months to complete.
