Two new bridges officially opened and news that funding has been received for two more bridges – it’s been a busy day for Kyogle Council!
Kyogle Council Mayor Cr Danielle Mulholland together with Federal Member for Page Kevin officially opened Campbell Bridge and Hyde Bridge on Lynches Creek Road this morning.
