Mayor Russell Fitzpatrick said the bridge is a critical piece of infrastructure for the Bega Valley.

“The project engagement program includes three phases – Plan, Engage and Refine,” he said.

“The first ‘Plan’ phase is a crucial step in the consultation process. It involves a Have Your Say short survey to gather pre-concept design and methodology information.”
