This project involved the replacement of an existing 180 metre damaged causeway with a 180m bridge across the Stawell River on Yan Yean Burleigh Road.

The new bridge provides a deck level 2.5m above the existing causeway significantly improving resilience during flooding. The new bridge was constructed off alignment providing minimal impact to the community, particularly following flooding during the construction phase.

This project was funded under the Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA) and our team played a key role in the optioneering phases to ensure that all project costs were reimbursed through the DRFA.



Redfrost were engaged to project manage the preliminary planning phase, including design flood assessment, geotechnical investigations and production of concept design drawings and technical specification. The project management continued to include the procurement of the design and construct contract including peer review of the design, contract administration, construction management and site inspections.
