John Cotton Bridge at Yea Wetlands closed for works

Published on 03 June 2026

The John Cotton Bridge at Yea Wetlands is currently closed while Council undertakes remediation works. The works are expected to be completed by Monday 8 June, and during this time the bridge will not be accessible.

Visitors to the wetlands will need to enter via the John Cummins Reserve, off Goulburn Valley Highway.

There will be no access to the wetlands from the Yea Wetlands Discovery Centre.

We thank you for your patience while these works are underway.

Remediation of the John Cotton Bridge is part of the Wetlands Restoration Wetlands, jointly funded by the Victorian Government and Commonwealth Government under the Commonwealth-State Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA) in response to the 2022, 2023 and 2024 floods.
