About the project
The Bedivere Street Bridge provides a key transport link across Old Cleveland Road, to and from Carindale Shopping Centre. Routine bridge inspections in 2019 identified the existing steel barriers are approaching the end of their useful life. To maintain the bridge structure, the steel barriers will be replaced, alongside minor concrete repairs and other general maintenance.
Works involve:
- removal and replacement of existing steel barriers and road expansion joints
- minor concrete repairs
- maintenance of overhanging vegetation.
Equipment and machinery, including lighting towers, jackhammers, concrete grinders, crane trucks and elevated working platforms will be used to complete these works.
Project update
The Bedivere Street Bridge closure has been rescheduled to July 2023, weather and maintenance conditions permitting. We will notify you in advance of the new closure dates.
Work hours
Work will be completed during night work hours of 8pm and 5am, Sunday to Friday when traffic volumes on the bridge are lowest, and to ensure the safety of workers and road users.
What the community can expect
To complete these works as quickly and safely as possible, the following temporary traffic changes will be required during project work hours only.
