Hello again,

Time is running out on the survey. As well as the issues listed by the Save Cuttagee Bridge, safety for beach and lake users parking at the bridge should be paramount. Others are concerned about the cost and damage required for new approaches for a two lane concrete bridge, and faster traffic impacting on wildlife. Others say the bridge  slows visitors down, preparing them for their Mimosa Rocks National Park stay.

A reminder from the Save Cuttagee Bridge group: 
It’s not too late to save Cuttagee Bridge!
Do have your say and fill in the Bega Council survey - noting to add that restoration is best.
Option 1: Single lane hybrid structure with timber.
You can add in these points below & whatever else matters to you.
Note that the $15M from State Government is for restoration - just like Wallaga Bridge.
Bridge experts tell us that timber is safe, affordable and beautiful – and it supports heritage values.
And safety HAS to be in any design.
===========================
Say NO to the suggestion that the coast road could be an alternative to the highway - NO to super large trucks.
YES to economic value of a heritage bridge for tourism.
YES to timber as the most progressive, climate friendly and affordable material.
YES to one lane - slow and friendly for the community.
