Temporary closure of Wright Street bridge

The pedestrian bridge over the Traralgon Creek at the end of Wright Street (near ASIC) in Traralgon has had to be temporarily closed.

By Latrobe City Council - 23rd March 2010 - Back to News

Latrobe City Council’s general manager built and natural environment sustainability, Peter Quigley, said that the closure was for safety reasons.

"The Wright Street bridge has a timber deck that has been sheeted in asphalt and has been patched on several occasions. We are currently investigating the options as to the best method to either repair, or replace the decking.

"The bridge will be closed for several weeks while we undertake the required assessment of the options available, including costing of the works," Mr Quigley said.

Residents can use either the Argyle Street or the Franklin Street bridges while this bridge is closed.

Further information will be provided once the assessment is completed.
