McKillops Bridge, Deddick Valley, repair works

Update - September 2025

Works to repair McKillops Bridge have been completed and the bridge is now fully open. 

Works started on the bridge in April 2025 and took four months to complete.  The works involved replacing some timber components of the bridge, including the deck timbers. 

We thank the community for their patience during this time.

Heritage preservation

McKillops Bridge is of heritage significance. The current bridge was built in 1935. The deck is 255 metres long which makes the bridge the longest concrete, metal-truss and timber bridge in Victoria.

It's located in some of Victoria’s most spectacular scenery and spans a broad, deep gorge close to where the where the Snowy River meets the Deddick River.

The bridge consists of welded-steel trusses seated on reinforced-concrete piers that support an elaborate timber stockbridge superstructure.

To maintain the bridge’s traditional appearance, carpentry work for the replacement of timber components match the original design. We sourced timber that closely matched the original materials. This approach ensured the bridge retains its familiar look and character.
