Bridge Screen Policy

Introduction

The Sustainable Transport Plan is part of the ACT Government's commitment to improve transport in the ACT. The Plan seeks to ensure the safety and security of all road users using the road network by adopting a 'Safe System' approach, looking at the safety of the road and the roadside safety levels holistically to minimise the possibility of property damage, injuries and fatal accidents.

Roads ACT can contribute to the sustainable transport plan by ensuring the programs it manages include appropriate measures to improve safety levels on all the assets we manage.

In relation to the bridge network, Roads ACT is committed to the improvement of safety levels on bridges through a bridge strengthening (and replacement) program aimed at increasing load limits on bridges and the proposed bridge safety screen programme aimed at ensuring that the likelihood of accidents caused from an object thrown off a bridge at a vehicle passing below is minimised.
