What happens with traffic once the road bridge is open (closed to traffic)?
Road, cyclist and pedestrian traffic will be stopped on the bridge with signals and boom gates similar to those at level crossings. Comprehensive video surveillance is undertaken of all modes of traffic, both on the bridge and on the Port River, to ensure it is safe for the bridges to open. Variable message signs and/or changeable message signs are located along the major routes between Salisbury Highway – South Road Connector and the LeFevre Peninsula to advise motorists of the status of the road bridge.
