Cowra’s traffic conditions have eased after the restoration and repairs at Cowra’s low level bridge.
Following 51 days of closures, the restored bridge now boasts a gentler entry and exit to the bridge, and a stronger bridge from the foundations up.
During the closure, traffic cameras were installed to illustrate the impact of ongoing bridge closures, to help build the case for a third bridge.
“Council is strongly advocating for a new high-level bridge downstream of the existing one to be included in the NSW Government’s upcoming regional transport plan,” Cowra Mayor Paul Smith said during the announcement of the repairs.
“This would be a state-owned and constructed bridge, but it is essential infrastructure for Cowra’s long-term connectivity, resilience and economic growth. We urge Transport for NSW to prioritise it in their future planning,” he added.
