Why replace Tantulean Creek Bridge?
While the existing bridge is still functional, it is nearing the end of its service life. Council has received grant funding to replace the bridge. The grant funding requires the replacement project to be delivered by August 2025.
Will there be a footbridge available?
Once HD Civil take control of the site, following the tree clearing works, one of the first tasks will be to establish a temporary footbridge. This will allow those who wish to leave a vehicle on either side of the works to do so, at their own risk.
What is the impact on bus services?
We have consulted with the bus company about the detour, there will be slight adjustments to school pick-up and drop-off times. Affected families will be notified by the bus company.
What about cattle sales and business deliveries?
Council acknowledges that truck deliveries for cattle sales as well as other deliveries will be taking place during the closure. We encourage residents and businesses to inform suppliers about potential delays due to the detour. Those who may still be affected by logistic issues can contact Council about specifics to resolve on a case-by-case basis.
