The commitment will support the Kyogle Council bridge renewal program and matches a $9 million commitment by Federal Labor. State and federal Labor\u2019s total investment into Kyogle Council bridges is $18 million.
\n\u201cThe people of the Northern Rivers region have every right to safe bridges. This basic duty of Government \u2013 safe roads and bridges to drive on \u2013 must be a top priority,\u201d NSW Labor Leader, Michael Daley, said.
\nKyogle council manages 311 bridge, 150 of which are timber bridges mainly built in the 1940s.
\nThe bridge network is critical for the transport of timber, dairy, livestock and other industries which sustain the region.
\n\u201cKyogle council residents deserve safe and secure bridges which they can use well into the future,\u201d Shadow Minister for Transport Jodi McKay said.
\n\u201cThese funds will go toward rebuilding modern bridges that are safer, last longer and can handle higher loads,\u201d Country Labor Candidate for Lismore, Janelle Saffin, said.
\n\u201cI can\u2019t understand why the Nationals will support knocking down and rebuilding huge Sydney stadiums that get used once or twice a week. Our bridges are used many times a day and are in far greater need of investment. I don\u2019t want to see our taxpayer money splurged on those stadiums.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
