Ballarat residents will now be waiting until mid-March for the road in the Bridge Mall to be re-opened.

It was initially due to open prior to Christmas, until it was discovered the bridge that runs over the Yarrowee River in the mall needed strengthening.

Those works added an extra $4.7m to the cost of the project.

CEO of the City of Ballarat, Evan King, says final touches to the paving are happening now.

“We’ve probably got a couple of weeks left of work on the bridge itself, and then we will complete the paving that allows traffic to come back in,” he said.

“That paving will have to cure, so we’re sort of looking [at] mid-March for an opening of cars.”
