Three new concrete bridges – on Campbells Road at Silverleaf, Mondure Road and Weens Road, near Kingaroy – are now open.
South Burnett Regional Council originally budgeted $3 million in 2015-16 for the replacement of the three timber bridges, but the cost is believed to have come in closer to $2 million.
A Council spokesperson said on Monday all the costs had not yet been finalised, but would be included in the capital works report at the next Council meeting on June 15.
The bridges were built by Brisbane-based Construction Project Management, with 17 local companies also working on or supplying products to the three sites.
Work began last September but completion was delayed due to wet weather before Christmas.
