All the vibes I am hearing indicate that, yes, Transurban does intend to demolish the bridge, because of course that is cheaper than modifying the existing bridge! They just bring in a new prefabricated bridge and put it in place overnight. But demolition of the old bridge, and activation of the new, could take weeks or months during which Beecroft residents would be put to enormous inconvenience.
The Beecroft Cheltenham Civic Trust is active on this issue, Greg Smith has arranged for Trust officers to meet with roads Minister David Borger to try to find out the truth, and to make community concerns clear. This blog will report back as soon as we hear the result. Meanwhile any concerned locals should join the BCCT in order to strengthen their voice in these issues!
