Queens Park bridge remains closed<\/strong><\/p>\n

NEWTOWN\u2019S heritage-listed Queens Park bridge remains closed to all traffic and pedestrians after it was damaged by a truck last Thursday. The one-lane bridge \u2013 which sits above the Barwon River and has a low clearance of 4.2 metres \u2013 connects Newtown to Highton via Queens Park Road. VicRoads has advised motorists heading from Newtown to Highton or Belmont should use the Hamilton Highway and Geelong Ring Road. VicRoads has also suggested that people travelling from Highton to Newtown should use Barrabool Road and Shannon Avenue. Drivers are encouraged to allow extra time when using these proposed detour options, particularly during school times. VicRoads has said the bridge has suffered significant structural damage and will not be reopened until it\u2019s safe to do so.
