It’s not far off now, but the Camden bike track bridge linking Elderslie and Camden across the Nepean River is starting to take shape and hopefully will open in the next few months.
The Little Sandy Bridge at Elderslie is starting to take shape now as the photos (taken at the end of March) below show.
The old wooden bridge, which was severely damaged by floodwaters in March 2012, had been fenced off for many months, and affected the popular walking/cycling path between Elderslie and Camden.
The bridge is being built with a $125,000 grant from the NSW government and $515,000 from Camden Council, including $200,000 from the capital works reserve.
Rather than building another wooden bridge, the council has opted to build a concrete one, which should hopefully withstand the next big flood to come down the Nepean River.
