This new bridge

[Falconhoof]

Heard the Alex bridge is closing for maintenance

I started that rumour and proud of it

Just been on Look North and they reckon 24,000 vehicles a day are going to use it
Are they planning on shutting down the a19?

16 cars on the bridge at any one time? Obviously not during the night, but far from unreasonable during the day.

This relates directly to questions on the other thread about why the bridge is needed. It’s all about flow in networks and capacity. As the traffic volume increases over time, then the network needs to have capacity or it all grinds to a halt.

It’s plausible the bridge doesn’t see 24,000 cars a day in year one, but the planners have done their job and in the fullness of time it will.

It looks fantastic, something to be proud of for our city.

I just can't see it with the other bridges in place.

It’s sinking according to Len. I have asked him many times since the opening date was announced what has happening about the sinking thing but he is ignoring my questions.

He's an absolute bellwhiff mind.
