Cowra Council has announced the extension of repairs on the low level bridge at the Lachlan River-Bila Galari.
In a statement shared to social media, Cowra Council warned the signifiant project would last until at least August 15.
“The concrete approach slabs have now been installed, but due to an unforeseen delay in material delivery, the project timeline has been pushed back slightly,” a spokesperson for council shared online.
“This is a significant project that will deliver long-term benefits for the community. We truly appreciate your patience and understanding as we work towards completing these important upgrades.”
This follows the installation of traffic monitoring cameras on surrounding streets, council the number of vehicles passing to better understand the impact of the bridge closure. Mayor Paul Smith told the Cowra Guardian he hoped the numbers of vehicles passing captured on the cameras would help secure the business case for a second ‘mid level’ bridge.
