The new bridge over the Clarence River at Harwood is about 20 metres east of the existing bridge, 1.5 kilometres long and four lanes wide. The new bridge provides safer, smoother travel for motorists and eliminates the need for highway motorists to stop while the existing Harwood Bridge is raised for maritime users.
The profile of the new bridge accommodates a mid-river shipping lane height of 30 metres.
ABFI Steel Group’s scope was 116 piles of varying diameters 1200, 2000 and 2400 x 25mm thick with lengths up to 60 metres – supplied in sections that were joined onsite.
