Great Ocean Road bridge replacement at Wye River
We’ve built a stronger, wider and safer bridge at Wye River on the Great Ocean Road.
Complete
The Wye River bridge replacement project has delivered a stronger, safer structure for future transport needs, and improved connectivity and safer journeys along the Great Ocean Road for locals, visitors, and industry.
Replacing the bridge has increased the lifespan and reliability of the structural crossing. The project has delivered the new bridge structure with a wider bridge deck, shoulders and a footway on the ocean side of the structure to boost safety and convenience for pedestrians.
Pedestrian safety and access were also improved with new guardrail, crash barriers and a wider pedestrian path on the beach side of the road. The pedestrian path was extended to provide better connection between the caravan park and the general store via the existing pedestrian crossing point.
Overview
The existing bridge was built in the 1950s and is now due for replacement.
The new bridge on the Great Ocean Road at Wye River was funded by the Australian and Victorian Governments.
