3 contractors have been shortlisted to submit a tender to design and build the new bridge at Harwood.

The three firms shortlisted to submit a detailed tender for consideration include Lend Lease Engineering Pty Ltd, AFVJ Acciona Ferrovial Joint Venture and Rizzani De Eccher Australia.

Federal Member for Cowper Luke Hartsuyker said 7 businesses had shown interest in building the new four lane Clarence River bridge, which will cover nearly 1.3km.

He said, "The new bridge will be the longest of 40 bridges to be built as part of the Woolgoolga to Ballina upgrade. It must be aesthetically pleasing, meet all safety requirements, include flood mitigation measures and provide a 30 metre navigational clearance for marine traffic."

Federal Member for Page Kevin Hogan said the new bridge would help fulfill future traffic needs.

He added, "When the lift span bridge over the Clarence River at Harwood opened in 1966 it removed a bottleneck at Maclean and was the third longest bridge in New South Wales. Likewise, this new bridge is a modern-day solution to improving the highway's efficiency and productivity."
