The new Benolong Bridge was officially opened today by NSW Minister for Regional Transport and Roads Jenny Aitchison and Dubbo Regional Council Mayor Josh Black.

The project saw the construction of a new, concrete bridge to replace the ageing wooden bridge, which was at its end-of-life.

Replacement of the bridge brings a variety of benefits to the Dubbo Region including increasing accessibility and connecting residents in the area with Dubbo and Wellington and allowing increased freight transportation.

The Benolong Bridge upgrade project was jointly funded by the Australian Government’s Local Road and Community Infrastructure Program and Bridges Renewal Program, the NSW Government’s Fixing Country Bridges Program, and Dubbo Regional Council.
