About the project
The embankment under the Burwood Road bridge, along the Kedron Brook experienced severe erosion and damage from flood waters.
In mid-2022 we undertook temporary erosion protection works on the bridge abutment and piers, as part of the Kedron Brook restoration program. Works included placing large rocks in sections where erosion had occurred to ensure the resilience of the bridge and nearby abutments while we investigated a permanent solution.
Our permanent solution involved stabilising the embankment around the bridge foundations by installing rock protection around the base of the bridge piles, batter and abutment.
These permanent improvement works are now complete and will ensure the resilience of the bridge during future severe weather and reduce the need for ongoing maintenance works.
Project timing
Construction started in late February 2024 and was completed in mid-May 2024.
