Bridge in Lake Macquarie finally getting makeover
July 13, 2021
After several delays, finally the Freemans Drive Bridge at Cooranbong will be getting a makeover.
It’s a $1.3 million project to get the Lake Macquarie bridge up to standard and work is already underway.
The improvement works involve strengthening the superstructure and deck of the bridge, which support the roadway, to increase the load capacity of the bridge and ensure longevity of the structure.
Lake Macquarie City Council’s Asset Manager Helen Plummer said safety is the number one priority for Council and regular inspections are carried out to ensure bridges across the city remain safe at all times.
