Pacific Highway Upgrade – Yelgun to Chinderah

Bridges
Roads
Tunnels

BG&E designed all overpass bridges for a 28 kilometre deviation of the Pacific Highway, south of Tweed Heads in Northern NSW.

Our involvement included

  • Seven Super-T bridges with spans up to 38.5 metres.
  • The Eviron Road Overpass, that forms a gateway at the northern end of the upgrade. Twin arches span over 50 metres, supporting precast portal frames and concrete planks.
  • The Old Pacific Highway Overpass, a post-tensioned Twin-T bridge that spans 40 and 50 metres on a 55-degree skew.
  • Four fauna arch tunnels, allowing wildlife to safely cross over the new roadway, with precast concrete arches resting on cast-in-situ concrete walls.
