Sunbury Road Upgrade team’s top pour-formance

​Last week, the team at the Sunbury Road Upgrade successfully completed the first deck pour on the new bridge crossing Jacksons Creek, in Melbourne’s northwest.

The 200 cubic metres of concrete was poured across the 60m long bridge, which will take up to four weeks to cure. 

The bridge beams were originally lifted into place in February, with two additional layers to be poured over the coming months.

These layers play a pivotal role in holding the load weight and transferring pressure downward, into the substructures of the bridge.  

On top of this, the team has been working hard to limit any environmental impacts to Jacksons Creek, because it is both historically and environmentally significant to the local community.

The new bridge will open in June to enable work to begin on the existing bridge. 

Well done to the whole team on reaching this milestone safely.
