Emile Serisier Bridge

About

The Emile Serisier Bridge is a low-level, four-lane road bridge that crosses the Macquarie River in Dubbo, New South Wales, Australia. The bridge carries the Newell Highway, a major freight corridor, and, along with the LH Ford Bridge on the Mitchell Highway, helps make Dubbo a significant freight hub. 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. When closed due to flooding, traffic is diverted to the two-lane LH Ford Bridge, which can result in congestion and lengthy travel delays due to limited capacity.
