Greg Smith, State MP for Epping, advises that after significant pressure from the Beecroft and Cheltenham community, the RTA and Transurban have decided not to pursue the option of closing the bridge over the motorway between Murray Farm Road and Beecroft Road! As Greg says, "sanity has prevailed".
I like to think that the petition signed by so many of you helped in influencing this decision. I will retain all your emails in case we need to raise further issues with the project office. One such issue will of course be the Transurban plan for widening the bridge spans while the bridge remains open to traffic. Traffic lights seem the obvious solution, but the community will be pressing to minimise the duration of that obstruction.
