i heard on radio the military will be brought on to control all crossings
hey david, in a couple of days I’ll head off down to the Chaffey Bridge and see if they have set up on the Vic side of the bridge. If they have I’ll take some pics and post them here for all to see.
Nothing I can do if they have set up on the Buronga side of the bridge as you can’t see it from the Vic side . . . and I won’t have a permit to go to the other side (not going to risk a fine just to get a pic).
Having driven over the bridge many thousands of times I would guess they will set up on the NSW side of the bridge as it has a longer stretch of road to help manage the expected line of waiting vehicles. The short distance from the 7th street roundabout to the permit checking area would cause traffic to back up on both sides of the roundabout on 7th Street and San Mateo Ave. This would necessitate some traffic management at the roundabout to manage the flow of traffic onto the bridge approach. Much easier to set up on the NSW side (see map in spoiler).
Spoiler
blue rectangle would be check point, yellow line represents bridge approaches (not suitable to stop traffic here) and red lines show where traffic would back up for checking (map shows both possible checking points)
