Location

The bridge is prone to flooding, sitting at 257.6 metres AHD, which is below the 1-in-10-year recurrence interval flood level of 259.97 metres AHD for the Macquarie River at Dubbo.^[2] When closed due to flooding, traffic is diverted to the two-lane LH Ford Bridge,^[3] which can result in congestion and lengthy travel delays due to limited capacity.^[4][1]
