Just keep in mind only the tunnel part is free, not airport link M7 part.
(Ipswich road exit ~ lutwyche exit)The Clem 7 part is free
Yes but just keep in mind only the tunnel part is free, not airport link M7 part.
(Ipswich road exit ~ lutwyche exit)which is named airport link not clem 7
airport link is also a tunnel but yes, worth pointing out it's the journey under the river that's free
Oooh free tunnel! how much for shipping?
Car, not ship.
Good time to take a walk across the Story Bridge. No traffic noise & still open for pedestrians. Great views & exercise are a bonus.
no traffic noise but heavy machinery dust and asphalt pouring - no thanks!
True, hopefully pick a time between asphalt removal & replacement😀 I'm not a fan of asphalt fumes.
Brisbane City Council said essential waterproofing works need to be carried out to protect the concrete from water damage.
Council has been working on the issue for a few years, but decided the only way to properly fix it was to fully close the bridge.The works will involve:
full closure of the Story Bridge
removal of the asphalt from the concrete deck
cleaning of the concrete to ensure the product adheres effectively
applying the waterproofing membrane to the cleaned concrete surface
laying a new asphalt top surface
line marking
bridge joint resealing.Or close the bridge completely and force everyone through the tunnel after they remove free travel. They already tried to drop speed limit on it, they can say it's not suitable for vehicles any more and make it a pedestrian. Only bridge
What does clem 7 mean? I'm not a local
Named after a former lord mayor of Brisbane Clem Jones and the actual road is the M7 thus Clem7.
Named for former Lord Mayor
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clem_JonesConsidered an honour?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clem_Jones_TunnelIt's the M7 road. The tunnel was named after a former Lord Mayor of Brisbane, Clem Jones. CLE..M7
It links up with the Glen 20
Well he was the Lord Mayor also credited for Sewering Brisbane!
You are a clever mob in BrisVegas. Nice one.
You should see what we named our river
And the 2 gateway bridges with unpronounceable names over the top of it…
Beware the speed cameras
They're probably going to up the toll once it's open again to recoup the losses lol
Remember the song, Streets Of Your Town by The Go-Betweens… good song to sing driving over the Go Between Bridge.
Not really a bargain when us tax payers front the bill !
