Bridgewater Bridge lift
To allow for the construction of the new Bridgewater Bridge, the Department of State Growth has closed the lifting span on the existing bridge.
The lifting span of the old Bridgewater Bridge was closed while the new bridge was under construction and will remain closed until the bridge is demolished.
In the meantime, vessels under 2.2 metres high can still pass beneath it. The new bridge has similar clearance to the Bowen Bridge, allowing boats to travel freely towards New Norfolk once the old bridge is removed.
