Bailey Bridge will be ‘like a big Meccano set’, says RRV

Described as being like a big Meccano set for adults, installation of the 70-foot bridge will begin from the Beechworth side of Hodgson’s Creek, before being lifted fully into place. 

“To ensure the safety of all road users, speed will be reduced on the advance of the bridge in both directions, with traffic lights operational, variable messaging signs in place and a lower speed set over the bridge itself,” RRV regional director Nicki Kyriakou said.

“We’re asking everyone to be aware of changed traffic conditions in the area, and share this news with family and friends travelling to Beechworth this summer.”
