    Start date

    Late 2024

    End date

Construction is underway on the New Brooking Channel Bridge and pedestrian pathway.

The replacement bridge will add to the region’s supply chain resilience, enhance road safety, and provide ongoing employment opportunities for the Fitzroy Valley region.

The new 127-metre bridge will have two 3.5m lanes and 1.2m shoulders, providing an improved structure capable of supporting large loads, including road trains and heavy goods vehicles.

Major works began in mid-2024, including demolition of the old bridge. Three piers have now been constructed in the channel, and works are underway to form the new bridge.

Once the bridge deck is in place, finishing works will commence ahead of the planned opening in late-2024.
