The New Dubbo Bridge project has achieved a remarkable engineering milestone, completing the installation of 123 massive girders across the Macquarie River. Each girder, measuring 34 meters in length and weighing up to 62 tonnes, represents a testament to precise planning and execution in major infrastructure development.
Project Progress Highlights
The completion of girder installation marks just one aspect of this comprehensive infrastructure project. Concurrent achievements include:
• Initial asphalt works delivering 12,000 tonnes in greenfield areas
• Progressive concrete deck pours advancing on schedule
• Final phase 11KV electrical cutover at River Street and Bourke Street intersection
• Innovative drainage network redesign yielding significant efficiency gains
Engineering Innovation
A collaborative approach with Transport for NSW has led to substantial improvements in project delivery, particularly evident in the optimization of the Whylandra Street drainage network. The elimination of a 10-meter drainage pit demonstrates how innovative thinking can deliver both time and cost benefits while maintaining project integrity.
Technical Excellence
The project showcases several key technical achievements:
• Precision placement of 123 pre-cast girders
• Integration of complex electrical infrastructure
• Optimized drainage solutions
• Advanced asphalt implementation
• Coordinated intersection upgrades
Community Impact
This infrastructure development represents more than engineering excellence – it delivers lasting benefits to the Dubbo community through:
• Enhanced transportation efficiency
• Improved road network resilience
• Optimized infrastructure integration
• Future-ready design implementation
• Sustainable construction practices
The successful achievement of these milestones reflects the dedication and expertise of all project stakeholders, setting new standards in infrastructure delivery for regional Australia.
