Transit lane under Chinamans Bridge for safety

Tuesday, 20 November, 2018

A transit lane has been created on the Goulburn River under Chinamans Bridge in Nagambie to guide vessels under the steel span of the bridge.

Strathbogie Shire Mayor and Chair of the Nagambie Waterways Advisory Committee Amanda McClaren said the transit lane has been put in place to address public safety concerns associated with the deterioration of the bridge.

“Council is urging waterways users to utilise the lane designated by the floating buoys and act with caution when travelling near the bridge,” Cr McClaren said.

The deterioration of the bridge has been worsened by vandalism, including the apparent scavenging of timber elements for firewood.
