I drive from Raworth to Largs and back twice a day to take my child to school. When Morpeth Bridge is closed the traffic at the gaol roundabout and the set of lights into the new bridge is atrocious. We have to leave home at 8 and I don't get home again before 9.  Also, have the electronic signs been on to communicate this? 

It's taken long enough to get this much work done. They shouldn't be changing it, there are plenty of other ways around. Just hurry up and get it fixed. It's been going on for months and months already.

Build a new bridge. Simple. This has being a lifelong struggle to uphold and continue day-to-day operations of light-vehicle movement and regular structural maintenance programs and preservation.

The money wasted on this bridge could have bought two brand new ones. With Maitland’s growth, the extra strain and stress on these old bridges is too much.

Local people deserve a better deal. Time to build better infrastructure.

Tocal Field Days is a massive local event and obviously someone who sits in a Newcastle office has little or no idea of the negative effects that the closure will cause. Delay closure.

 These bridge delays are really holding up my collecting of rabbit traps and doilies - oh and all the fudge ... 

Having it shut at any time is a big inconvenience to people that live on Hinton side. But I don't see the problem just because it is Tocal Field Days.
