Bridge Program Update

The bridge replacement program has been moving forward successfully across the open sections of the Hume & Hovell Track. You will now be noticing many more of the new bridges that have been installed when venturing out for a walk.

January through to April 2021 has primarily been in the Burra, Mannus and Munderoo areas with numerous footbridges being replaced. All of these were in need of upgrades and the old wooden structures have been removed.

This work still continues and as you can see from the before and after pictures it is creating safer and longer lasting infrastructure along the track to last for many years to come!
