Bridge Design & Construct at Johns Crossing, Cumbil Road Baradine

Johns Crossing is the local name given to a crossing of Baradine Creek on Cumbil Road approximately 4.0km north of the town of Baradine. Cumbil Road is an unsealed road that provides access to areas of State Forest on the western side of the Pilliga Forest. The road also provides access to several farming properties.

The existing crossing is a concrete causeway structure approximately 35m long and 4.6m wide. The concrete causeway was severely damaged by flooding in 2022 and the road approach on the northern end has been washed out. The crossing is closed to traffic. Access around the site is available via Indians Lane and No 1 Break Road.

The purpose of the project is to replace the damaged causeway at Johns Crossing with a bridge structure and to reinstate road approaches on both the northern and southern side of that structure.
