Western NSW Bridges Receiving Major Infrastructure Investment
What happened
Tenders are now open for the construction of two new bridges in western New South Wales. The Albanese and Minns Labor Governments are investing $30 million to replace the Grawin Creek Bridge near Collarenebri, and $18.9 million to replace the Rawsonville Bridge near Dubbo. Both existing bridges are narrow and restrict modern freight and agricultural vehicles, but the new crossings will provide wider lanes and stronger structures for heavier loads.

Why it matters
The replacement of these aging crossings addresses limitations that currently restrict modern freight and agricultural vehicles in the region. The new infrastructure is designed to provide wider travel lanes and stronger structures, which should improve regional accessibility and transport capacity.
