$4 MILLION SECURED TO RESTORE AND REOPEN HISTORIC KIRWANS BRIDGE Funding finally secured to restore and reopen historic Kirwans Bridge has come after years of persistent advocacy. Strathbogie Shire Council has been successful under the Safer Local Roads and Infrastructure Program, securing $4 million for the project. I have worn a path to the Minister’s door over the past four years fighting for this project, but the credit belongs to the community. Strathbogie Shire Council, the Kirwans Bridge Action Group and Go Nagambie have worked tirelessly to keep it on the agenda and build the case for funding. This funding provides the pathway to reopen a vital local crossing, restore an important piece of our heritage and reconnect the community. It is expected to reopen the bridge to passenger vehicles, but further funding will be needed to achieve a higher load limit.
