Found between Darlington Point and Griffith, and running parallel to North Kooba Road, around $5 million has been allocated to replace the bridge.
Member for Farrer Sussan Ley said the federal government would contributed $2.48 million, which is to be matched by the state government meaning it's expected work will get under way soon.
There's an estimated 4000 movements by traffic over the bridge each day.
