AN innovative European bridge design has been used to preserve Sedbury Creek at Marion Bay in a Tasmanian first.
The ageing 29m timber structure was yesterday replaced with a modular bridge, called Unibridge.
Sorell mayor Kerry Vincent said the Unibridge provided a superior alternative to other bridge types.
"We were concerned this bridge wasn't going to be easy to replace and started looking at alternative designs. The Unibridge has been put together piece by piece -- I call it the big Meccano set -- which has meant minimal disturbance," Cr Vincent said.
The bridge was prefabricated off-site and installation took only three days.
"This was critical in the decision to select Unibridge, as the bridge is the only access point into Marion Bay," Cr Vincent said.
"The disruption to the local residents was dramatically minimised."
It also lessened damage to the sensitive environment.
