The involvement of councils is critical to the solution
A fresh approach The NSW Government is developing an innovative and cost effective solution to enable regional councils to replace bridges on their roads:
Collaborative approach
Simple and easy to build
Use existing council resources
Provide manuals to assist with design, development and construction

Overview of the “givens” for the Country Bridge Solutions program: • The overall project involves three phases: 1. Concept Development, 2. Proof of Concept and 3. Construction, with a commitment only to complete phase one. Roads and Maritime Services is funding phase one. Phases two and three are dependent on available funding • Roads and Maritime will provide technical support and assist development of a framework for councils to deliver. Initially, the Country Bridge Solutions project will focus on the replacement of timber bridges in poor condition on regional and local roads • Success of the program will require a coordinated and collaborative approach from state and local government “The NSW Government and regional councils will jointly deliver the Country Bridge Solution to communities”.

Workshop Objectives: • Gain an understanding of the critical issues facing councils in
bridge replacement and maintenance on their networks
• Review the current Bridge Design Solution with a view to testing its appropriateness and highlight issues, concerns and potential improvements associated with various aspects of the project
• Identify a way forward to address the issues and concerns,
evaluate the improvements identified and ensure the design is robust as it moves forward in development

Roads and Maritime Concept – Bearings Laminated elastomeric rectangular bearings
– Similar to standard practice for spaced plank bridges
– Common problem with this type of structure is getting the
module to be supported evenly on all bearings under dead loads
– Proposed solution is temporary support on jacks under cross girder while bearing bottom attachment plates are adjusted then grouted
