The old Murray Bridge will be closed to all traffic this weekend as a long-running upgrade continues.

The bridge will close from:

  • 8am-4pm this Saturday and Sunday, July 1-2
  • 9.30am-2.30pm every Tuesday and Thursday from July 4 to August 17
  • 8am-4pm on August 19-20

During closure times, motorists will need to detour via the Swanport Bridge.

The closures will allow workers to move stuff around as they continue a $46 million upgrade of the 1879 bridge that will make it useable for another 30 years.
