Pye St rail crossing on Curlewis St is the cheapest and best position with the least disruption to traffic when constructing a high bridge approach, with the King St Rail crossing, just up north as planned 40 years ago.
Much less blocking of traffic, and loss of 22 car parks in the CBD, removing buildings, swimming pool — all at rate payers’ cost.
No lift span costs in the 21st century.
The high bridge approach can now come a bit south — through the old Shell depot.
Naretha St, could tee into the bridge approach with give way signs — ideal.
The King St rail crossing to Adams Rd could be used by Naretha St residents while construction is on.
Don Erck — with backing of three former city engineers, and 90 per cent of people in Swan Hill.
