Faster and safer travel between Braidwood and Nowra is a step closer, with early work on the replacement of Charleyong Bridge about to get under way.
Member for Monaro John Barilaro said the project forms part of the NSW Government’s Bridges for the Bush program which was allocated $14.3 million in the 2017/18 budget.
Senator for New South Wales John Williams said the project has also received $5 million under the Australian Government’s Bridges Renewal Program.
“Charleyong Bridge is located on Main Road 92 which is a vital transport route for our region, connecting Braidwood and Nowra via Nerriga,” Mr Barilaro today said.
Mr Barilaro said the start of early work involves utility service relocations which will be carried out between Monday 21 to Friday 25 May between 7am and 5pm, weather permitting.

Works have started on replacing five old bridges near Bangalow in the Byron Shire.
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Infrastructure and Transport Michael McCormack said Bangalow residents would be able to enjoy better, safer and more reliable road access as a result.
“These new bridges will ensure more efficient freight and traffic movement, which will in turn improve productivity for nearby agricultural industries including the Booyong meat processing plant, macadamia, beef and dairy farms,” Mr McCormack said.
