TRANSPORT for NSW has advised it will be temporarily closing the Brig O’Johnston Bridge to carry out essential maintenance and safety upgrades.
The NSW Government is investing in rehabilitation of the Brig O’Johnston Bridge as part of its bridge maintenance program.
The bridge over the Williams River at Clarence Town was built in 1880 and is the oldest surviving timber truss bridge in NSW.
To get the work done safely, the bridge will be closed between 9am and 3pm on Tuesday 1 July, Wednesday 2 July and Thursday 3 July.
During these times, a detour will be in place via Clarence Town Road, Italia Road, the Pacific Highway, and The Bucketts Way.
“Please note this may add up to 50 minutes to your travel time so please allow additional time for any planned travel,” Dungog Shire Council said in a statement.
