DERBY-SERPENTINE Road has been closed within hours of barriers being put in the Chamberlains Rd Bridge on the outskirts of Inglewood.
Bridge damage at Spring Creek has seen Loddon Shire close the road between White’s Road and the Calder Highway.
Captain of the Bridgewater Fire Brigade Tim Ferguson said closure would add at least 15 minutes to response times of emergency services.
Mr Ferguson said the brigade would back any efforts by council to secure funding for repairs on the bridge.
“We have previously written letters of support for council applications for government grants and would be pleased to do so again.”
Fire brigades last week said they had not been told of the Chamberlains Road bridge closure that would extend future response times.
