Bridge Design Guide (2nd Edition)

The Bridge Design Guide – Investigation, Design, Construction and Maintenance (2nd Edition) is an essential resource for local government engineers managing bridge renewal projects across New South Wales. This updated guide provides a practical reference for the entire lifecycle of bridge renewal, from initial investigation and design to construction and ongoing maintenance. Designed specifically for NSW councils, the guide aligns with Australian and international best practices, drawing heavily from the Austroads Guide to Bridge Technology (Parts 1-8), with a particular focus on Part 4: Design Procurement and Concept Design. While it does not replace existing technical publications, it serves as a valuable time-saving tool for local government bridge managers, offering clear guidance tailored to the unique challenges faced by councils.
