- Excellence in Asset Management and Maintenance
- Excellence in Community Impact
- Excellence in Heritage and Conservation
- Best Structure 35 Metres or Under

Award winners will receive a prestigious Austroads Bridge Awards trophy and certificate, and the opportunity to present their award-winning project in a dedicated Austroads webinar.
Finalists from all categories will be recognised at the Austroads Bridge Conference Gala Dinner in Brisbane on Thursday, 26 June 2025. Austroads looks forward to the opportunity to recognise the individuals and organisations that have delivered outstanding bridge projects across Australia and New Zealand.
