On Sunday June 1 at 8am the bridge will reopen, but to light vehicles only. Heavy vehicles over 4.5 tonnes will need to wait until 12pm Sunday June 1 to access the bridge.
The bridge closure is part of ongoing essential bridge maintenance work that started in late-January 2025 and is required for concrete to cure and reach minimum strength before vehicles can pass. Access for emergency services will remain.
Light vehicles travelling north can use Summerland Way, Bruxner Highway to New England Highway. Light vehicles travelling south can use Pacific Highway, Waterfall Way to New England Highway.
Transport for NSW recommends all vehicles, including freight operators and OSOM, plan their trip in advance outside of these closure times as detour routes will be significant.
Detour routes via minor roads are possible, however it may not be appropriate for OSOM or larger vehicles.
The bridge will reopen to all vehicles at 12pm Sunday June 1 and will operate under single lane closures with alternating stop/slow arrangements and a 40km/h speed limit.
It is advised that motorists drive to the conditions and follow the directions of signs and traffic control.
