Bridge Centenary Committee Chair John Lawless said plans for the bridge centenary celebration are in full swing again for December 15.
“We are anticipating a four-hour celebration starting from 10am,” Mr Lawless said.
“After the unveiling of the plaques, we will move to the Yarrawonga Foreshore for a civic reception and a chance for the public to meet with the dignitaries that we have invited to the occasion.”
The unveiling of two plaques will first start on the NSW side of the bridge at 10am and the next on the Victorian side at 10.30am.
The celebration will then continue on the Yarrawonga Foreshore until 2pm where a free sausage sizzle will be hosted by the Rotary Club of Central Murray Sunrise.
Mr Lawless confirmed key invitations had been sent to various dignitaries (yet to be formally announced) and the full program has been locked in.
“It will be a great day of celebration and memories for people whose history with the bridge goes back many years.
“It will be a fantastic day for everyone to come and learn about the history of the bridge, reminisce with locals who for all their life the bridge has been the main arterial link between the two states and towns.”
Mr Lawless said the bridge centenary committee, who is made up of dedicated and enthusiastic locals, hoped that both the Yarrawonga and Mulwala communities would join in the celebrations.
“Our bridge has served our towns well over the last 100 years, and that should be celebrated,” Mr Lawless added.
