UPPER CAPEL ROAD BRIDGE

Replacement works for Bridge 3275 on Upper Capel Rd (near Claymore Road Intersection) are ongoing. A road closure at the Upper Capel Rd Bridge is currently in place and will be extended until the end of June 2024, due to delays in materials arriving from the eastern states. The Shire appreciates the inconvenience that this may cause some users, and asks that you please contact the Shire should you want to discuss further.
