There is another nasty rumour going around, that during the period of widening the spans of the Kirkham road bridge over the M2, between Murray Farm Road and Kirkham Street, the single lane left open will be restricted to light vehicles only! No buses for the school kids, and no fire engines!
One hopes therefore that the M2 Project will be devoting significant planning effort into minimising the duration of the span widening activity. It is preposterous to claim it will coincidentally take exactly the same duration as the overall project.
Indeed competent project planning would want this span widening to be completed very early to allow better access for the work gangs widening the road under the bridge. As soon as that work is finished, full two lane access without weight limits should be restored immediately. Obviously this will benefit the community as well as the project.
Meanwhile, what arrangements have been put in place to fight fires in the houses and bushland around Murray Farm Road during the (hopefully very short) period that the fire engines from Beecroft Fire Station are unable to use the bridge?
