Duffs Bridge and Marlee Bridge Replacements

The Marlee and Duffs Bridges over Dingo Creek, north of Wingham were two timber truss bridges requiring considerably more maintenance and Council budget expenditure compared to the remainder of the bridge stock.

Greater Taree City Council managed the demolition of the old and construction of two new three span two lane concrete bridges, including associated approach road works, road pavement, drainage and ancillary works.

The program and cost estimates were developed during the options stage very early in the lifecycle of the project. The project has proven the benefit of good project management on cost, quality, safety and program.

Duffs Bridge was opened five months early in November 2012, and Marlee Bridge was opened in April 2013 at a total cost of
approx. $6.8M.
