The Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) is about to undertake essential timber and deck repairs on the Mungumby Creek Bridge on Shiptons Flat Road at Rossville.
Crews will be onsite from Monday 17 August 2026, with the works program expected to be completed by mid-October 2026, weather and construction conditions permitting.
Access will be maintained whenever it is safe and practical to do so, however, full road closures will be required at certain stages of the project to safely remove and replace sections of the bridge.
For the safety of road users and maintenance crews, changed traffic conditions will be in place during the works under the direction of traffic controllers as outlined below.
