ACE was engaged to deliver the critical replacement of the Wye River Bridge on the Great Ocean Road. The project involves replacing the aging structure with a modern, two-lane concrete bridge structure featuring pedestrian footpath, structural retaining walls, and a timber façade designed to blend with the local coastal environment. To minimise regional disruption, ACE is executing the works across a strict two-stage sequence to maintain uninterrupted traffic flow.
Project Highlights:
- ACE is replacing the critical Wye River Bridge with a modern, high-capacity dual-lane concrete structure
- Engineered a sophisticated two-stage demolition and construction methodology, allowing ACE to maintain continuous two-way traffic flow and community access.
- Integrated safe, dual-sided pedestrian footpaths and a dedicated cycling lane into the new corridor.
- Combined heavy civil engineering with local coastal aesthetics by installing a feature timber façade and structural retaining walls.
- Successfully delivered Stage 1 downstream works in 2024, paving the way for seamless Stage 2 upstream completion in 2025.
