Future of the old freo traffic bridge
Submitted by tailor marc on Tue, 2007-09-04 11:59
I was just googling the "fremantle traffic bridge" and have come across some info that suggests that they are considering serious plans for the bridge.
Here are the options bieng discussed 2007...
The six options are:
Option 1: Retain existing bridge, but replace the navigation spans and deteriorated components
Option 2: Retain existing bridge, but replace the navigation spans and deteriorated components and incorporate bridge widening
Option 3: Construct a new standard bridge next to the current bridge, leaving a section of the existing bridge as a heritage and recreation site
Option 4: Construct a new bridge that is a major entry statement for Fremantle, leaving a section of the existing bridge as a heritage recreation site
Option 5: Construct a new standard bridge and retain the existing bridge as a pedestrian/cyclist facility
Option 6: Construct a new two lane standard bridge and retain the existing bridge as a 2 lane bridge with improved pedestrian/cyclist facilities
Option 2: Retain existing bridge, but replace the navigation spans and deteriorated components and incorporate bridge widening
Option 3: Construct a new standard bridge next to the current bridge, leaving a section of the existing bridge as a heritage and recreation site
Option 4: Construct a new bridge that is a major entry statement for Fremantle, leaving a section of the existing bridge as a heritage recreation site
Option 5: Construct a new standard bridge and retain the existing bridge as a pedestrian/cyclist facility
Option 6: Construct a new two lane standard bridge and retain the existing bridge as a 2 lane bridge with improved pedestrian/cyclist facilities
Here is the 2007 website link....
I just hope what ever mods are made that they build a walkway and platforms to fish off under there and much safer lol

Good work Terry.
I lived and fished in Japan for a while, and they have really catered for the recreational fisherman by always adding fishing platforms to structure in the ocean.
