Mar 2023 - Continuing work on Dawson River Bridge, Cundletown
Transport for NSW and construction partner RMP Abrasive Blasting are continuing the final stage of work which includes painting the bridge and steel and concrete repairs as part of a painting and maintenance project.
We will be continuing work to complete steel repairs, painting and remove containment and scaffolding and expect to complete these activities in two months, weather permitting.
To minimise traffic disruptions, and to ensure the safety of workers and road users, some of the steel repair work will be carried out at night. Night work will be completed between 7pm and 5am from Tuesday 7 March. Night work is expected to be complete in one week, weather permitting.
