“The works have included timber decking replaced with fibreglass mesh grating, the existing pedestrian fencing was replaced with galvanised fencing,” Cr O’Connell said.

“A centre pier was installed to strengthen the bridge to compensate for the water main that is attached to bridge.”

Upgrades to the Swifts Creek pedestrian bridge have been completed.
