Wallaga Lake Bridge has reopened after major works finished over the weekend.
Traffic can now cross the bridge under stop/slow arrangements, while the final stages of work are being completed.
Traffic lights and a reduced speed limit will be in place along the bridge to guide motorists through the work zone with a reduced load limit of 22 and a half tonnes.
Motorists are advised to drive to conditions, allow an additional five minutes of travel time, and follow the directions of signs and traffic control.
All road users travelling with wide loads are advised to detour via Cobargo using Wallaga Lake Road, Bermagui Road and the Princes Highway, while work is being carried out.
The bridge opening, also means the free temporary bus service provided during the bridge closures to support the community have come to an end.
Pedestrians are advised of closures to the pedestrian walkway on Wallaga Lake Bridge as the bridge will return to post construction operating conditions.
Finishing work will include work to piles that was unable to be completed during the full closures and is expected to be finished by late-September, weather permitting.
The project site will demobilise considerably during this time, and parking will be reinstated at Payne’s Island.
Transport for NSW want to hear from the community about its experience during the project which saw two lengthy closures of the bridge in 2024.
A Transport spokesperson said it is seeking feedback on it the community’s experience with communication, services, and dealings with the department during this work.
Feedback can be provided online at haveyoursay.nsw.gov.au before 5pm on Friday August 23.
