interesting that you used a flood photo people that don't know Murray Bridge would think that the river is REALLY wide..

So when will we get a new 4-lane bridge? And widen Adelaide road, and maybe Swanport Road to 4 lanes? We've already needed these for years. Are they waiting for it to become more expensive and difficult, with new buildings blocking the way?

Well, it's funny – governments never want to do things until the data shows there's a need. Same with black spots on our roads, same with water/sewage on the east side etc. So yes, their modus operandi is: wait til the roads are full of traffic, then think about upgrading.

As for the freeway bridge, I haven't heard anything since this: https://www.murraybridge.news/p/swanport-bridge-duplication-study

It's been so long that I completely forgot about that, lol. It'd be nice to see some progress.
