New RA member Abergeldie has been awarded an early works construction contract that forms part of the New Dubbo Bridge project being jointly funded by the Federal and NSW governments.
The package of works will see a realignment and reconstruction at the northern end of Darling Street, moving it to intersect with Brisbane Street instead of River Street.
Work is expected to begin in the coming months and will be open to traffic in early 2023 (weather permitting).
The $220.2m New Dubbo Bridge and associated works form part of the wider $1.7b Newell Highway Upgrade and is intended to reduce congestion and provide more resilient infrastructure (particularly during flood events) along this critical national route for passengers and freight.
