Lynch's Bridge to be Rebuilt in Metropolis Plan
The Lynch's Bridge project aims to replace the structure with steel at an estimated cost of £21,340. It connects Footscray and Melbourne, enabling river traffic to pass beneath, with Ballarat Road realigned to Smithfield Road to remove a dangerous curve. The Country Roads Board will fund half the cost and extend its control to the eastern riverbank.
