The Townsville City Council identified the Elena Street culvert at Nelly Bay to be in a structurally poor condition and required the load rating of the bridge to be reduced. Civilplus were engaged as the principal contractor to complete major upgrades to achieve a T44 live load rating for the bridge, including replacement of the existing road deck, new abutment and wing walls, base level works, new apron slabs, footpaths and erosion protection slabs and new pedestrian barriers.
