Bellingen Shire council has secured $2,297,620 in funding for the replacement of Cut Bank Bridge on Tyringham Road through the Australian Government’s Safer Local Roads and Infrastructure Program (SLRIP) and $574,405 from the Roads to Recovery Program (RTR). The total project cost is $2,872,025.

The SLRIP has been created to support the delivery of safer and more productive roads across Australia.  The Roads to Recovery Program supports the construction and maintenance of local road assets to facilitate improved accessibility and safety. The replacement of Cut Bank Bridge will improve the safety and functionality of Tyringham Road, ensuring it remains a reliable and accessible route during emergencies and natural disasters.

Work for the project will include the replacement of the existing timber bridge with a single span reinforced concrete bridge. The new bridge will be constructed adjacent to the existing timber bridge to ensure community access is maintained throughout construction.
