Glenfern Road Bridge Replacement

Design and construct replacement of the Glenfern Road bridge for Derwent Valley Council, with a precast dual lane bridge built for improved flood capacity.

New Glenfern Road bridge, Derwent Valley

Project Overview

A $342,300 design and construct bridge replacement for Derwent Valley Council.

BridgePro designed the new bridge, demolished the existing structure and built a temporary bypass so the road stayed open. Precast double T-beams, each designed for SM1600 loading without load sharing, and the precast substructure were manufactured in BridgePro’s factory for fast installation. The design allowed for either driven or rock-socketed piles, and removing the old central pier improved the waterway’s hydraulic capacity. The new deck provides 7.25 m between barriers, with asphalt-sealed approaches.

Key figures: Precast double T-beam bridge, 7.25 m between barriers.
