Tom Uglys Bridge

The Roads and Traffic Authority is continuing maintenance work on the old steel northbound section of Tom Ugly’s Bridge. This project is fully funded by the NSW Government.

Tom Ugly’s Bridge is a key link between Sutherland Shire and the Sydney metropolitan area, crossing the Georges River between Sylvania and Blakehurst.

The repainting and associated repairs to the bridge deck and the structural steel on the northbound section of Tom Ugly’s Bridge is an essential and ongoing part of a maintenance program to preserve the bridge and reduce future maintenance disruptions. There are three phases of this work:

Phase 1 – Replacing the bridge expansion joints
Phase 2 – Deck repairs and resurfacing
Phase 3 – Repaint and refurbishment

Phases 1 and 2 are now complete.

Phase 3 is underway. The bridge will be repainted following the complete removal of the original lead based paint work.

The RTA will continue to update key stakeholders and local residents on the progress of the maintenance work.
