Construction continues to progress at the Milldale State Highway 1 Crossing, connecting Milldale with Millwater and Silverdale.

Construction Manager Olivia Pervan has completed the inspection on a 22m long section of pier girder, currently being fabricated by Eastbridge Limited.

This section is up to 3.2m tall, weighs about 30 tonnes, and is one of ten girders that will be bolted together to form the bridge.

With no columns in the middle of the motorway lanes, the steel girders will eventually create a 94m steel and concrete composite bridge structure.

The Milldale State Highway 1 Crossing project is expected to be completed in 2024 and will provide a much-needed connection between Milldale and the other communities on the Hibiscus Coast.

It will also help to reduce congestion on State Highway 1.

Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting project!
