Tharwa Bridge Closed

The only history for that bridge is the number of cars that the dodgy thing has scratched or dented by being too narrow. rebuild a new bridge we people deserve decent access to Tharwa and the Namadgi.

Voting? Pratt and Bills’ Libs next meeting are discussing getting rid of compulsory voting. Would kids vote? Nope.

Pull the fricker down.

It is a white ant nest.

BTW A low level crossing aka Point Hut would cost $ 1 mill

Everything this government does these days makes me angry. At me, for foolishly believing these numskulls and voting for them, and at them, for the mess they are making of Our Town. How can they just abandon this bridge??!

I don’t know how trucks could have stuffed it, you could barely fit a sedan through the super tight barriers in place. The sides weren’t more than 40cm away from your mirrors.

It’ll bring back the hoonage – last time it was shut down the now-dead end became a bit of a dragway.

Typical metropolitan govt disdain for rural concerns.

Hmm poor Tharwenians.

So do they have to go the long way past Tidbinbilla and through the cotter to get anywhere – oh hangon – they have point hut x-ing dont they ? – still pretty annoying

God, is the ACT Labor Party trying to destroy Tharwa, or what?

First the school is up for the chop, and now the bridge is closed!

Could they not build a level crossing a’la coppins crossing/Uriarra Crossing and leave the bridge intact for heritage/astetical reasons?

Sure its heritage listed – but it wont last forever under nrmal use. Id be pissed if I lived in tharwa and shopped at the “Hyper D”

I heard them saying on the radio this morning that the crappy repairs were done on the assumption that no large vehicles would be using the bridge. Then a few big trucks had the hide to drive over it and everything went to hell. If only someone could have foreseen that….
