NSW: Updated - Reduced load limit for heavy vehicles on Hampden Bridge at Kangaroo Valley

Source: Transport for NSW (04.06.2025)

The introduction of a reduced load limit for heavy vehicles on Hampden Bridge at Kangaroo Valley has been delayed giving road users more time to plan their transition.

The transition period has been extended and will now take effect from Friday 27 June 2025, when the load limit on the bridge is reduced from 42.5 tonnes to 23 tonnes.

The decision to reduce the bridge's load limit was based on expert advice from structural engineers using detailed testing and risk assessments.

While we understand the disruption caused by this change, and sincerely apologise for the inconvenience, the safety of all road users is paramount.

To support the transition a 10 km/h speed limit will be in place on the bridge, along with traffic control during busy periods. There will also be increased police presence and monitoring of heavy vehicle weights in the area to help ensure safety and compliance.

You do not need any special approvals or permits to use the bridge during this time, provided your vehicle meets the existing load limit.
