Lack of money for repairs puts Foxlow Bridge’s future in doubt

Key points

• The future of Foxlow Bridge near Bungendore, in southern NSW, is in doubt after state roads minister Jenny Aitchison said there are limited grant funding opportunities for bridge maintenance or replacement. Foxlow Bridge remains closed for safety reasons.
• Mayor Kenrick Winchester had asked for urgent support, including money for a temporary crossing. Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional Council says it is investigating repair options and alternative crossings, including using the nearby railway corridor.
• Motorists are directed to Captains Flat or Hoskinstown Road to reach the Kings Highway.
