The Murray River crossings between New South Wales and Victoria form critical lifelines for the movement of people and goods, between the local areas on each side of the river including the important tourist trade, and also between the main capital cities along the eastern and southern coasts of Australia.
Currently, just over 100,000 road vehicles cross the Murray River each day, and approximately 20 million tonnes of freight, valued at some $29 billion, are carried across the river by road each year.
The brochure below summarises proposals by the NSW Roads and Traffic Authority (RTA) and VicRoads for the future of these vital road crossings, many of which have National, State or Regional heritage significance.
