MONKEY BRIDGE BYPASS
Bogan Shire Council is working with Fisheries NSW to get approval to improve the usage of the existing Monkey Bridge low-level bypass. River flows continue to cause damage to the crossing making it impassable. No work can be carried out on the bypass without Fisheries NSW approval and the appropriate permits, anyone carrying out unauthorised work in a waterway may be prosecuted by Fisheries.
