December 7, 2020<\/strong><\/p>\n

Toowoomba Regional Council has been recognised for engineering excellence for the Emu Creek Hall Road Bridge, south-east of Cooyar.<\/p>\n

Council received a 2020 Excellence Award in the Projects $1m-$2m category at the Queensland Branch of the 2020 Institute of Public Works Engineering Australia (IPWEAQ) awards.<\/p>\n

Cr Carol Taylor said the annual awards recognise the work that engineering professionals provide for the good of their communities.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe $1.1 million Emu Creek Hall Road Bridge upgrade project has improved safety, provided better access for heavy vehicles and a more-flood resilient structure,” she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cCouncil constructed a new Emu Creek Hall Road Bridge to replace the original aged timber bridge to maintain connectivity between rural communities north of Crows Nest.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe bridge, which officially reopened in December 2019, provides an essential link between the New England Highway and Pierce\u2019s Creek Road.<\/p>\n

\u201cBefore construction, Emu Creek Hall Road bridge was a three-span timber and concrete composite bridge, narrow and in poor structural condition.”<\/p>\n
