Date Time Hume and Hovell Track upgrade progresses The Hume and Hovell Walking Track is getting a facelift as work on the pedestrian bridge replacement program steams ahead. The program started in November 2019 and, despite the impact of bushfires and the pandemic, 37 bridges and boardwalks have been replaced along the Track with the majority being built after COVID restrictions eased in mid-2020. The Department of Planning, Industry and Environment – Crown Lands partners with Snowy Valleys Council to deliver maintenance and upgrades on the 426km track that passes through Yass, Wee Jasper, Albury, Tumut, Talbingo and Tumbarumba. Local indigenous contractor Maliyan Horizon and inmates from Mannus Correctional Centre have also helped with track and weed clearing.
