New Bridge
The new Murray River crossing opened to traffic in October 2006. This new crossing forms an important strategic link between Victoria and NSW assisting the movement of local and through traffic, and freight, particularly produce from the expanding horticultural and agricultural production in the area.

There are daily coach links to major capital cities, and well-established road transport companies that deliver throughout Australia. V/line buses travel to and from Swan Hill and Mildura daily.
