The heritage-listed 1881 Nowra Bridge crossing the Shoalhaven River is the unofficial gateway to the South Coast. The Nowra Bridge project provides a new four-lane bridge over the Shoalhaven River, upgraded intersections and additional lanes on the Princes Highway. Following the new bridge opening, the old bridge will be repurposed for future community use.
Major work commenced in mid-2020, leading to the recent opening of the new bridge. Concurrently, planning for the repurposing of the historic Nowra Bridge is ongoing. MLEI Bridge is actively involved in this phase, focusing on the planning, strategic options, and the Statement of Heritage Impact (SOHI) related to repurposing the historic structure.
