Project documents - archive (2017 and earlier) - Grafton Bridge additional crossing of the Clarence

Reviewed

Project overview

The NSW Government is funding this $240 million project which involves building an additional 525 metre bridge 70 metres downstream from the existing road and rail bridge. The project also includes upgrading parts of the road network in Grafton and South Grafton to connect the new bridge to the existing road network. The new bridge will consist of two lanes but has been designed to be increased to four lanes when traffic levels require it.

 The documents listed within are from 2017 and earlier and relate to the new Grafton bridge project. Other current documents can be accessed via the project documents - current webpage for the new Grafton bridge project.
