The new Berri Bridge

Thursday, October 03, 2002

The Berri Bridge was opened in July 1997 by the Premier John Olsen. It is the largest of its type in South Australia. Over 13,000 people attended the opening creating the biggest crowd ever brought together in the town. The bridge cost $17 million dollars after 30 years of lobbying. The bridge spans the Murray River between Berri and Loxton. Travelling from one side of the region to the other can now be done in less than 30 minutes. This replaces the old dual ferry system which transported vehicles from one side of the river to the other.
