Bridge’s back

The rebuilt Tooradin Footbridge at Sawtells Inlet has reopened to the public.

The much-loved piece of infrastructure began accepting foot traffic on Thursday 15 September following the completion of major works, manager for city design and construction at the City of Casey, Trevor Griffin said.

“Remaining works due to be completed by the end of September include the ‘Tooradin Village’ lettering on the side of the bridge, rock works on the banks and the reinstatement of pedestrian fencing,” Mr Griffin said.

“Due to manufacturing delays, a table and seats, made from recycled plastic, is expected to be installed in December 2022.”

The rebuild was funded through the Australian Government’s Local Roads and Community Infrastructure program, which provided $750,000 in funding, Mr Griffin said.
