Notification of Delay for Construction Works - Mahon Bridge Replacement
Lockyer Valley Regional Council (Council) advises that a third-party contractor will commence construction works to replace Mahon Bridge on Carpendale Rd, Carpendale in January 2025, weather permitting.
The scope of works will involve the demolition and removal of the existing concrete bridge, excavation, concrete works, construction of a new concrete bridge, backfill, rock protection and pavement activities.
The works will improve the road alignment and increase the load limit and accessibility for heavy vehicles over the bridge, overall providing an increased community benefit, particularly for the local businesses and residents.
The replacement of the bridge is expected to take approximately six months, weather permitting. During the demolition and construction period, a full road closure of Carpendale Road is required, with appropriate detours in place. Timing the works to commence in January will reduce the overall time the bridge and road are closed due to the contractor’s Christmas closedown.
Council understands that this project may raise concerns and questions, and we apologise for any inconvenience this work may cause and would like to thank you for your patience during construction.
