Situated in Lincoln (Selwyn) over the Liffey Springs this beautifully designed timber bridge was pre-assembled offsite in one of the Hunter Civils yards, before being transported to the site and placed on top of the 2 pier cops. The bridge was built in three sections; the centre section was made with arched glulam beams.
All elements of the bridge and project were made using timber except for the stainless-steel handrail on one of the steeper approaches. Other landscape and access path works were completed as part of this project.
