Steggalls Creek Bridge Remediation

Project Overview

Fortec was contracted to complete remediation works to the existing Steggalls Creek Bridge located near Yandina on the Bruce Highway.

The bridge consists of two 3 span structures – One North and South bound bridge separated by concrete retaining walls, which failed and were in need of repair.

Fortec worked with Council to develop an alternative solution to the original scheme which allowed works to be conducted with minimal disruption to the Bruce Highway.
