• This project, valued at $60 M (contract only) consisted of a 1,200 m long crossing of the Murrumbidgee River and flood plain and associated dual carriageway Hume Highway approaches, at Gundagai south western NSW.

• The river crossing bridge was a three span balanced cantilever structure. The adjoining floodplain bridge consisted a 27 x 40 m span prestressed I beam structure in linked slabs designed in groups of 6 span trestles.

• The road works consisted on regrading and re-paving the existing 2 lane northbound carriageway of the Hume Highway and the construction of a new 2 lane southbound carriageway utilising flexible pavements and deeplift AC.

 

 

The project has gone on to win National awards for construction excellence in National Infrastructure Building. As a consequence of the overall success of the project, the design team/construction team and site supervision team were recently invited to speak at the IQPC's Bridges Australia Conference 2010 in Brisbane. The project has been recognised both within the RTA and in the greater construction industry as a very successful project amalgamating excellent aspects of design, construction and co-operative and efficient site management.
