Tom Ugly’s Bridge is a key link between Sutherland Shire and the Sydney metropolitan area, crossing the Georges River between Sylvania and Blakehurst.
Repainting and resurfacing work on Tom Ugly’s Bridge northbound bridge is complete with northbound traffic returned to three lanes. Repainting and maintenance of the southbound bridge which commenced in April 2008 will continue until September 2010.
The repainting and associated repairs to the bridge deck and the structural steel on both the north and south bound sections of Tom Ugly’s Bridge are an essential and ongoing part of a maintenance program to preserve the bridge and reduce future maintenance disruptions. There are three phases of this work:
- Phase 1 – Replacing the bridge expansion joints.
- Phase 2 – Deck repairs and resurfacing.
- Phase 3 – Repaint and refurbishment.
Phases 1 and 2 are now complete.
Phase 3 is underway with repainting and refurbishment of the northbound bridge complete. The repainting of the bridge follows the complete removal of the original lead based paint work.
Community liaison
The RTA will continue to update key stakeholders and local residents on the progress of the maintenance work.
