What's going on with the Tharwa bridge

Don’t you remember Thumper ?

We’ll get into your make believe vehicle that he promised us with all of the rest make believe equipment that he promised us, with the lot of hype that engenders complete distrust in the validity of anything that is being said.

His made up submission is probably on the desk of the planning officer as I type, it’s just that the planning officer doesn’t have the ability to see the ethereal plane.

Well it’s certainly not listed on ACTPLAs web site, but that could be for reasons other than it not existing.

forget abouth Tharwa so they can sell it to NSW

Typically if you want to sell an asset, you don’t run it down to the point of worthlessness before attempting to do so.

Perhaps they want to keep the bridge closed in the hope Canberrans forget abouth Tharwa so they can sell it to NSW?

OK – I stand corrected – haven’t been out there since it closed.

Here is what I mean in image form.

The blue line comes from the Monaro Hwy. At the end of the blue line, the green line goes to the bridge, and the red line via the detour.

Not that much difference really.

I guess if you spent a lot of time driving between Tharwa and Conder shops, it could get annoying.

why are all the signs everywhere along the Monaro Hwy etc still pointing people Tharwa

If you were coming down the Monaro Hwy, you wouldn’t travel any differently to Tharwa via the detour, as you would via the bridge. So, i’m not surprised signage along the Monaro Hwy hasn’t changed.

What I’d like to know about said bridge, is why are all the signs everywhere along the Monaro Hwy etc still pointing people Tharwa along a road that can’t get them there??? Tourists would be m,ighty cheezed orf if they drive all the way out there just to be turned around at the last. Surely the signs can be temporarily changed to point people to the detour instead or just blanked out??
