Council maintains over 150 bridges throughout the Shire.
Many bridges feature signs displaying their appropriate carrying capacities. Some will specify the weight limit in tonnes, and others will specify the weight limit per axle group.
It is the responsibility of all drivers to know the axle loads of their vehicle.
If you wish to access a bridge with a vehicle carrying over the posted load limit, you will require Council approval. This request is to be put in writing to:
Manager Assets and Infrastructure
Murrindindi Shire Council
PO Box 138
Alexandra 3714
Your application should include the following details:
- Specifications of the vehicle
- Reason for requesting access
- Name and location of bridge
