The Bridge over the Clarence River Project in Grafton, NSW is nearing completion. The project comprises two complex bridge structures, namely:

• New Bridge over the Clarence River – a new 525 m long precast match cast segmental balanced cantilever bridge with 74 m spans
• A new rail bridge comprising a steel truss on a 47-degree skew to replace an older three-span reinforced concrete bridge

The seminar will present the innovative design and construction methods used for each bridge including a novel approach to segment erection, the use of four integral river piers and a heavily skewed steel through-truss.
