The Isis River Bridge is a road bridge over the Isis River currently under construction south of Childers, Queensland, Australia.
The bridge is built on a new and improved alignment of the Bruce Highway. It will replace the existing 54-year-old bridge which is prone to flooding.[1] When completed the new bridge will improve flood immunity as it will be almost seven metres higher than the old bridge. The old bridge is to be demolished on completion of the project.
The project is jointly funded by the Australian and State Governments.
The bridge, constructed by Seymour Whyte, is expected to be completed by the end of September 2011. [2]
