Swan Hill Bridge
We're maintaining the current Swan Hill Bridge, and investigating options to provide a safe, reliable and fit for purpose crossing into the future.
Planned
The Victorian Department of Transport, in partnership with Transport for NSW, is planning to build a new bridge between Murray Downs in NSW and Swan Hill in Victoria.
Planning for the new bridge is being led by Transport for NSW. For further information on the project visit Transport NSW Swan Hill Bridge project page.
Overview
Swan Hill is the main commercial and administrative centre for the region and a popular tourist destination attracting approximately 150,000 visitors each year. It is a major freight distribution centre for produce from the surrounding region on both sides of the Murray River.
To determine a suitable location for a replacement bridge, planning studies were undertaken between 2007 and 2011 in consultation with Roads and Maritime Services Swan Hill Rural City Council and the former Wakool Shire Council.
The planning studies considered the deficiencies of the existing Murray River crossing, cultural and environmental constraints and impacts and the future strategic growth needs of the Swan Hill and Murray Downs area.
