Little Sandy Footbridge Reopens: A Community Treasure

The Little Sandy Footbridge in Camden has reopened, restoring an essential link in the Nepean River Trail after extensive flood-related repairs. Originally constructed during WWII, the bridge has been a beloved community feature, supporting recreational activities for over a century. The project was funded by government sources, totaling $3.7 million.
