BridgesBridge Construction Costs 2001/2004 - Published: 20 Oct 2006 Below is a document that indicates the increasing costs in relation to bridge building. The document outlines details on 6 bridges built within the Shire between 2001 & 2004. These figures do not include routine maintenance on bridges, only the cost of entire replacement of bridge structures ie construction of new bridge. more ..Bridge Summary 2005/2006 - Published: 20 Jan 2006 Is a document that was produced, basically in support for a submission to the Government for funding. The summary is an overall outline of what condition many of Councils aging bridge network is in. Council is in a rather unique area with having quite a large percentage of its area being flood prone. Also of interest is the age of a large number of the bridge structures - well over 46 years for some and even some up to 94 years. Maintenance and repairs due to the ever increasing traffic volumes and weights are continually biting into Councils funds. more ..
Available for printing out is a list of bridges along Main Roads within the Shire with dimensions and widths for people wishing to move machinery etc.
Please note the list is not exhaustive and includes Shire Bridges only.
There are five (5) lift span bridges, for which Council has the responsibility of lifting to cater for river traffic, along the Murray River that are located within the Wakool Shire.
Works on Bridges is an ongoing activity for Council.
Council has a priority list, as determined by bridge condition and funding, for replacement of timber bridges. Council has tried to replace at least a timber bridge per financial year, although largely determined by funding received.
The priority list originates from the annual inspections undertaken by Council staff to determine the maintenance required and the condition of bridges, both timber & concrete throughout the whole of the Shire, being some 75 bridges.
