The work started in April and weather permitting is estimated to be completed by mid June.
The new bridge will utilise the InQuik system, a modular prefabricated, steel reinforced, cast-in-situ concrete bridge.
Vegetation clearing has been undertaken and a temporary side track has been completed to continue to allow residents' access.
The old timber bridge has been removed and work has also started on constructing both bridge footings and abutments.
Work crews have also established a small levee to reduce water entering the excavation area before attempting to locate and level out the bedrock.
The majority of funding for the project has come from the NSW Fixing Country Bridges Program.
