BLEWITT SPRINGS BRIDGE AND ROAD RECONSTRUCTION

Project Category: Bridge Infrastructure

Blewitt Springs Road is the only B-Double approved route connecting many wineries to Main Road in McLaren Flat. As the existing bridge was not designed to withstand these high loads and volumes of trucks, it began showing signs of failure.  Neo were contracted to undertake the construction of a new RCBC bridge, along with a road reconstruction and long spanning in-situ concrete retaining wall. Due to the inconvenience and high publicity surrounding the closure of the road, it was vital for Neo to complete the bridge construction within the prescribed construction period to avert lost transport productivity.
