Goulburn-Murray Water storage operations south manager Paul Beard thanked people for their cooperation.
“We appreciate people’s patience during the closure of the walkway,” he said.
Goulburn Weir is on the Goulburn River, about 8km north of Nagambie. It raises the level of the river so water can be diverted by gravity along the Stuart Murray Canal, Cattanach Canal and the East Goulburn Main Channel to supply G-MW’s irrigation customers.
“Goulburn Weir plays a crucial role in providing water for northern Victoria,” Mr Beard said.
“Regular maintenance works on the weir help ensure its long-term integrity, and ensures it can continue to benefit communities downstream.”
The walkway will temporarily be closed again in February to allow for periodic testing of Goulburn Weir’s post-tensioned anchors.
Post-tensioned anchors are used to improve the stability of weirs during extreme events such as floods and earthquakes.
The walkway will reopen upon the completion of the testing, which is likely to be in mid-March.
Goulburn Weir Recreation Reserve will remain open to the public, as will the toilet block at the reserve.
