Nettle Creek - Innot Hot Springs Bridge Replacement

The Nettle Creek Bridge is on the Kennedy Hwy in Far Nth Qld. The Neetle Creek is known to flood on a regular / daily basis during the Wet Season in Nth Qld. This flooding cuts the major arterial access for freight coming north, quite often the only access for freight movements during the wet season due to the coastal Bruce Hwy being closed due to flooding.
