Read a small clip in the Hun today that engineering works have started on the Sandridge Bridge at Southgate. Is proposed to turn it into a Pedestrian/Bike crossing of river, apparently...
Bit wierd as it mimmicks the 2 bridges only 200m either side (newer walkway bridge to East level with Elizabeth St) and the Queensbridge St bridge.
As the Sandridge bridge doesnt currently go to/from anywhere Im wondering what the heck they are going to do either side of the bridge to get people on/off (especially if on bike) and why not spend money elsewhere?
Can remember recent discussions about the bridge being re-developed for retail shopping, arcade type shopping etc.
Suppose a walkway or bicycle lane is far more beneficial, and CHEAPER than more trendy shops in the Southbank area selling overpriced tat. Any other thoughts?
