The Barwon Heads Bridge is a road bridge and a separate pedestrian bridge across the Barwon River between Barwon Heads and Ocean Grove, Victoria, Australia. The bridge is the only crossing of the Barwon River between Geelong and the river mouth at Barwon Heads.
History
The original timber bridge was the longest surviving example of a timber stringer road bridge in Victoria. It was constructed entirely of timber in 1926–1927, and was a "causeway"-type structure, having a low, flat profile, with closely spaced piers. A 2006 condition report determined that the bridge had reached the end of its effective life and should be replaced.
Description
The new road bridge, which replaced the historic timber bridge, utilised components and design elements of the original Barwon Heads Bridge. The road bridge consists of 34 spans supported by 185 treated timber piles (five timber piles to each pier), galvanised steel I beams and reinforced concrete deck. The piers are spaced to match the original timber bridge. The bridge is Шаблон:Convert long and Шаблон:Convert wide and it carries two Шаблон:Convert traffic lanes.[1]
The new Шаблон:Convert pedestrian bridge is located Шаблон:Convert downstream from the new road bridge. It is a modern concrete bridge with Шаблон:Convert spans supported by one pile per pier.[2]
Construction of the bridge began in May 2009 and it was completed and opened to traffic in December 2010.
