A new bridge will be built to replace the culvert washed away at Foreshore Drive in Corlette following the March storms and floods.
Port Stephens Council has decided to install a pre-fabricated bridge, manufactured by InQuik Bridging Systems at Tomago, due to it's minimal impact on the environment during installation and the chance to create a bigger channel for flood water to move through.
The bridge will also offer a safe pedestrian access, with a 2.4m footpath on the downstream side of the bridge.
Crews will begin site preparation at the end of next month.
It's hoped the bridge will be open by the end of December.
