Regular motorists into Wingham will have noticed a massive change in the view as they enter town recently.

The Cedar Party Creek Bridge which has stood in place since the yearly 1960s has been removed.

Eventually it will make way for the replacement bridge.

Crews have been hard at work dismantling and demolishing the aging infrastructure over recent months.

With the old bridge now gone crews can focus on the foundations for the new bridge.

First off will be the construction of the pile pads followed by piling works to begin in December and January.

Other works expected to begin over the Christmas and New Year period include the construction of retaining structures, sewer and water main connections and stormwater construction.

The project completion date is still expected to be in November 2025, weather depending.
