From 2pm tomorrow, Monday 1 September, there will be a new way to Turkey Point in Bunbury. 

Those looking to visit the recreational hot spot will no longer have to go through the Port of Bunbury, and instead can use the new bridge that joins Estuary Drive to Leschenault Drive, over the Preston River.

The new $34 million bridge was unwrapped by Premier Hon. Roger Cook MLA, Minister for Ports Hon. Stephen Dawson MLC and Minister for South West Hon. Don Punch MLA cutting the ribbon today. 

Read the announcement here.
