M2 Project intentions for Kirkham Road Bridge

According to an article in this week's Northern District Times, Transurban has now given a full written commitment that the bridge would not be closed during the upgrade project.
The Beecroft Cheltenham Civic Trust website, 2119.org.au, now confirms that.
However what has not yet been revealed is, how the one-lane use will be controlled. By far the least disruptive option is to have traffic lights, allowing alternate traffic in both directions. However there has been a proposal to use "Tidal Flow", with access one way in the morning and the other way in the afternoon.
Of course this will be easier for the project, but hugely disruptive to the local residents.
The BCCT is conducting a survey of resident wishes, and this allows respondents to state preference. The results of that survey have not yet been released.
