Closure of Bridgewater Bridge lifting span

The old Bridgewater Bridge lifting span will remain closed until the bridge is removed in 2026. Vessels under 2.2 metres on an average tide are able to travel under the old bridge without the lifting span being opened. The new Bridgewater Bridge includes a navigation clearance consistent with the Bowen Bridge, allowing vessels to move freely past Bridgewater towards New Norfolk.
