Awaba bridge works hit major milestone

BY DAKOTA TAIT

Lake Macquarie Council says works on the Wilton Road Bridge in Awaba are on track, after hitting a major milestone.

A ten-day closure turned into just a week, reopening ahead of schedule last month after the ageing timber structure was replaced completely with reinforced concrete.

Works to complete the upgrade will continue later into the year, but Council says it's a major step forward in delivering safer travel for motorists and pedestrians crossing the bridge.
