Birkenhead Bridge Upgrade Works Project
The Project
In 2020, the South Australian Government announced the Birkenhead Bridge Upgrade Works Project.
The $3.73 million State Government funded project will be delivered by the Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure.
This project is to replace the Birkenhead Bridge timber roadway deck with a Fibre Reinforced Polymer deck, and the eastern timber footpath with an aluminium footpath. Works will also include associated steel protection works, bitumen surfacing and line-marking. These essential works will ensure the bridge’s long term structural integrity and safety for all users. The Birkenhead Bridge is a State Heritage item, which makes works more complex and increases project costs.
Timing
Construction is expected to commence mid-year 2020 and be completed by December 2020, weather permitting.
