Works are underway on the footbridge over the Moyne River in Port Fairy to ensure pedestrians can walk across safely.
Moyne Shire Council said the bridge would be closed for the next few days while works were undertaken on the paths leading to the bridge.

"The paths on the approaches to the bridge are being reconstructed to provide safer access for pedestrians," a council spokesman said.
"Council apologises for the lack of notice about works to the Moyne River footbridge.
"These works mean pedestrian access to the bridge is temporarily closed.
"A contractor became available at short notice and as the paths were identified as a significant safety hazard, the council acted quickly to begin work as soon as possible."
The spokesman said the works were expected to be completed in the coming days.
