According to the BCCT, Transurban does plan to close the Kirkham Road bridge over the M2! The closure would be "at least six months", but a lot of Beecroft and Cheltenham residents are doubtful about that promise, remembering what happened with the Copeland Road bridge across the railway. What is most worrying is the statement "Hornsby Council has been unsuccessful in their attempt to get the operators to establish alternatives". There should be no discussion on this, the approved plan calls for single lane working, why are the authorities seemingly powerless to enforce that plan?
Closure could happen as soon as January 2011, and it has been suggested that the required "public consultation" will be initiated late in December with submissions closing early in January. Democracy? Come on Kristina, you signed off on this project when you were Planning Minister, now enforce what you signed off on!
Meanwhile everybody should be writing to their MP, State and National, to the RTA, and to Transurban and anyone else, to make clear our concern at what would be a gross abuse of democracy.
