Work is currently being carried out by Main Roads WA on the much anticipated new concrete bridge for Springdale Road near Hopetoun.
Construction for the bridge over the Jerdacuttup River commenced in June 2023 and to date work has included the completion of both abutments, earthworks to lift the road to 80 per cent completion, and the commencement of the rock protection.
Public entry
This section of Springdale Road will remain closed to the general public. A detour remains in place. Please follow the signs. Only emergency service vehicles and personnel will be allowed to pass the site.
Restricted access will be granted to immediate locals in passenger vehicles only (no heavy / oversize vehicles), however they must advise site staff of the need to access. This is for the safety of the individual and the construction crew. The crew contact details are posted at the east and west entry gates to the site.
