Kirkham Bridge to be used as a Truck Park?

The latest rumour is that Transurban wishes to close one lane of the Beecroft bridge over the M2 to use it as a park for construction equipment - nothing to do with the stated reason, of widening the bridge spans!

This was never mentioned in any of the documentation submitted before the project started.

The road belongs to Hornsby Shire, not to the RTA or Transurban, and the Shire needs to ensure that the rights of access to the road by local residents are maintained as far as possible. Transurban should have to justify closing any of the bridge for any part of the 22 months of the project, and must be forbidden to use the closed lane just as a construction car park!
