Murray River Road, Burrowye Creek

We’ve completed works to repair the embankment of Burrowye Creek Bridge on Murray River Road, Burrowye.

Project status:

Complete

Earlier this year an inspection of Burrowye Creek Bridge on Murray River Road found the bridge embankment had been damaged by recent heavy rain and flooding and repairs were required.

A temporary Bailey Bridge was installed over Burrowye Creek, enabling single-lane traffic whilst the repairs were undertaken. The Bailey Bridge has now been removed, along with completion of final works.

The works included:

constructing access tracks from the road to the bridge abutments
constructing a sandbag abutment and embankment retaining wall
treatment of the rocks to protect the embankments from further erosion, and
filling the cavities behind the wall with flowable fill material
replacement of topsoil and fences, and
minor patching where the Baily Bridge was anchored.

Burrowye Creek Bridge on Murray River Road has now reopened to traffic.

Thank you for your patience while these important works were completed.
