Local motorists are advised that the Toolamba Bridge has been closed following inspections which found significant structural damage to the bridge.
Greater Shepparton City Council’s Director Infrastructure Steve Bowmaker said a qualified bridge inspector would be visiting the site in the coming days to conduct a thorough inspection to determine what work is required to repair the damage and how long the bridge will be closed for.
“Detours and signage are in place for people travelling in the area and we apologise for the inconvenience caused to motorists, especially during this busy time of year,” Mr Bowmaker said
“We had no choice but to close the bridge in order to ensure the safety of people travelling that way.
“Motorists are asked to detour via Shepparton/Mooroopna or Murchison.”
