Load limits on Victorian bridges 'wreaking havoc' on agricultural industry

Regional Victorian councils are lowering bridge load limits due to insufficient state funding for repairs, wreaking havoc on agriculture. The Avoca-Bealiba Road bridge's 45-tonne limit forces hay trucks to add 80 kilometres to trips, costing businesses significantly. The state cut bridge repair targets from 22 to seven this financial year, leaving councils unable to fund the $4 million repairs needed.
