Rocky Creek Bridge - Borroloola

Construction of the 3 span bridge to increase flood imunity to Robinson Road

The project


Advance Civil Engineering were the sucsessful tenderers for this project that saw the existing culvert crossing replaced with a 3 span, dual lane bridge with a separate cycle path. 
The Robinson Road connects the two sections of Borroloola. During a significant rainfall event, the Rocky Creek would be inundated closing the road. the alternative route to connect the sections of Borroloola is a 30km trip each way. 
the construction of the new bridge greatly increases the flood imunity of the bridge reducing closure frequencies and durations. 

The project aspects include:
  • Construction of the 3 span bridge with two traffic lanes and a cycle path. 
  • increasing the flood immunity of the crossing by raising the road surface over one metre and increasing the open flow area under the road. 
  • Approximatly 400m of road works for the new alignment.
  • modification of the street lighting.
  • batter protection of the bridge approaches.
