Kirkham Bridge - the RTA Answer

I have obtained a very excellent and comprehensive response from the RTA describing their intentions. Unfortunately their response says:

This email, and any files transmitted with it, are confidential and intended for use by the addressee only.

So at this stage I can’t tell you what it says! All I will say is that the option of demolishing the bridge is being considered. If this concerns you, email the RTA yourself to enquire, at: enquiries@hillsm2upgrade.com.au

A key part of the email, which I am sure the RTA won't mind me telling everyone, is:

Once all potential options for lengthening the bridge have been reviewed and more information is available about the likely impacts associated with each option (including the required traffic management measures) this information will be shared with the community to obtain their feedback and comment prior to finalisation of the works program.

In my email I had asked for the timescale for that consultation period, but their response did not provide that information. I suggest we should now all be writing to advise the RTA, the NSW Government, and anyone else, of our concerns so these can be reflected in their review.
