Following the loss of the Genoa Heritage Truss Bridge in the Black Summer Fires, a new pedestrian bridge is being built on the original alignment. The look of the replacement bridge is in keeping with the original, including its truss spans.
The project replaces the bridge to Bullock Island, Lakes Entrance, which is needed due to corrosion of the bridge causing structural deterioration.
The new bridge, designed for the marine environment, will cater for the island's commercial needs and provide greater access for community members. The bridge will have a shared walking and cycling path and new paths will be built on Bullock Island.
This project is jointly funded with the Australian Government.
