Bridge works cause minor delays

East Gippsland Shire Council advises residents of minor traffic delays on a number of roads as part of council’s bridge renewal program.

Geotechnical investigations being undertaken in a range of communities over the coming weeks.

These investigations are important to help find out about the physical properties of soil conditions below the ground. This information is crucial to designing a bridge that suits the site conditions.

To make sure workers are safe while completing this work, some roads may be reduced to one lane for short periods.

The geotechnical investigations are being undertaken by Black Geotechnical.
