Burrill Lake Bridge

Project: Burrill Lake Bridge
Location: Burrill Lake
Client: BGC Contracting , RMS
Start: 2016
End: 2018
Value: $ 58 million

Roads and Maritime Services has completed the new Burrill Lake Bridge on the Princes Highway, just south of Ulladulla. Construction of this $58 million project was complete in March 2018.

Key features of the project include

– A 290 metre long bridge spanning the lake on a new alignment to the east of the existing bridge
– Roundabouts on either side of the crossing to connect the A1 Princes Highway to local roads
– A pedestrian and cycle path on the new bridge, connecting to new paths on both sides and linking to the Ulladulla cycle path
– Pedestrian paths underneath both ends of the new bridge. There would be a total of five locations where pedestrians can safely cross the highway
– The new bridge and highway would be higher than the future 1 in 100 year flood level and reduce the impact of flooding
– Complete removal of the existing causeway and bridge
– A southern foreshore park on the existing bridge approach.

Benefits of the project include

– Improving the overall reliability of the Princes Highway on the south coast by reducing future maintenance issues
– Providing a lake crossing and road approaches designed above the 1 in 100 year flood level
– Improving road safety by providing new intersections to modern safety standards connecting the Princes Highway to local roads
– Providing improved pedestrian and cyclist access and safety.
