The new bridge is now open and the cache is hidden towards the Northern end of the bridge.
Coming from the North, turn right at the roundabout before crossing the bridge. From the South, cross the bridge and turn left at the roundabout. In either case, then turn left. Steps up to the bridge are clearly visible. THERE IS NO PARKING ON THE BRIDGE.
The cache has an inner container which slides out so the log can be retrieved without damaging anything. Please ensure that the inner container is sealed and inserted back into its slot.
The original bridge over Burrill Lake was designed in 1956 and built in 1958. The bridge is one of the most low-lying bridges on the Princes Highway and is flood prone. It is a composite prestressed unit bridge with six spans of 9.14 metres each and an overall length of 54.86 metres.The northern approach of the bridge was constructed into the lake as a causeway that is approximately 150 metres long. The bridge is supported by concrete pillars which are deteriorating and future maintenance costs would be prohibitive.
Local residents have long argued for a new bridge and a $58 Million project was approved and consists of the following main features
- A 290 metre long bridge spanning the lake on a new alignment to the east of the existing bridge
- Roundabouts on either side of the crossing to connect the A1 Princes Highway to local roads
- A pedestrian and cycle path on the new bridge, connecting to new paths on both sides and linking to the Ulladulla cycle path
- Pedestrian paths underneath both ends of the new bridge. There would be a total of five locations where pedestrians can safely cross the highway
- The new bridge and highway would be higher than the future 1 in 100 year flood level and reduce the impact of flooding
- Complete removal of the existing causeway and bridge
- A southern foreshore park on the existing bridge approach.
