Plans are now moving forward for the construction of a 3.2km bridge in Australia's New South Wales. The structure will cost some US$625.4 million (A$618 million) to complete and will be Australia's longest bridge once it is open to traffic. Australian firm 1362 Abigroup will carry out the work, which involves extending an existing 2.2km link by 1km. The bridge will form part of the 14.5km Kempsey Bypass project and the link is expected to be open to traffic during 2013.
