The NSW Premier announced in October 2006 that the NSW Government would invest $60 million in a three year Timber Bridge Partnership to upgrade council managed timber bridges on Regional Roads on 50:50 cost sharing basis.
Bridges provide essential links for rural and regional NSW and this program is helping to keep communities connected.
The Timber Bridge Partnership will boost rural economies, improve safety for road users and reduce maintenance costs for councils.
There are 285 timber bridges on council managed Regional Roads that are eligible for upgrading under this program.
For information on the Program Guidelines; Maps indicating locations of bridges (2008); and current progress of bridges please follow the link: Timber Bridge Partnership.
