Detour in place for upcoming Mighells Bridge replacement

Published on 16 August 2023

Mighell Road at Mighells Bridge will be closed while the bridge is replaced with a concrete structure.

Kempsey Shire Council is replacing Mighells Bridge during August and September. Mighell Road at the bridge location will be closed during this time.

A detour will be in place. Letters will be sent and signage installed to advise residents of the upcoming road closure and detour information.

Once constructed, Mighells Bridge will be a new concrete structure, able to withstand heavier loads and provide safer conditions.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused while this project takes place.

From Macleay Valley way, take the Stuarts Point turn off and turn onto Yarra Lane. Travel along Yarra Lane then turn right along Brushbox Road and then onto Mighell Link Road. This will link to Mighell Road.

Costs for this replacement is part of Council’s $20.5 million funding from the NSW Government’s Fixing Country Bridges program.
