Lithgow City Council has received funding from the NSW Government’s Fixing Country Bridges program to replace the bridge on Red Hill Road at Upper Turon.
This timber bridge has reached the end of its service life and will be replaced with a reinforced concrete structure. The replacement of this bridges will offer improved safety and reliability, reduced maintenance costs and increased fire resistance, ensuring ongoing access in the event of bushfire.
Works are expected to take 16 weeks (weather permitting) and will be carried out by Bridge Check Australia Pty Ltd on behalf of Lithgow City Council. Construction on the Red Hill Road Bridge at Upper Turon is scheduled from Tuesday 17th September (Tomorrow).
Detours will be in place at the site with a sidetrack being constructed for vehicles to use. This detour will be single-lane, and traffic control measures will be in place. Drivers are advised to allow extra travel time when using this detour.
