Temporary bridge

A temporary bridge will be open soon on Horne’s Road connecting Mira Gut with Sydney and Albert Bridge.

The old bridge was washed out in the Thanksgiving Day flood. While they are putting in a temporary one lane bridge for now, a permanent replacement will be at least a year or more.  The temporary bridge should be open by the end of next week.
