I was pleased to announce last month that the West Portland Road bridge at Sackville in the electorate of Macquarie was selected under round 2 of the Australian government's Bridges Renewal Program. This program supports vital upgrades of local bridge infrastructure and underpins the government's support for local bridges. West Portland Road bridge at Sackville was selected for funding as the upgrade means that Hawkesbury residents will have safer and more reliable road access. The current single-lane wooden bridge will be replaced with a two-lane concrete bridge on improved alignment. I congratulate the Hawkesbury City Council on securing $920,000 in funding for the bridge.
