ACE was appointed as Head Contractor by Parks Victoria to undertake the vital structural refurbishment of the Dee Slip Bridge. The project successfully restored the 45-metre-long, 3.7-metre-wide pedestrian and vehicle structure to full service. By balancing modern safety standards with historical conservation, ACE prioritised heritage preservation and environmental integrity—extending the bridge’s lifespan while ensuring it remains a durable, aesthetic asset that connects the community to local green spaces.
