Message from West Alphington Residents Inc.: Chandler Hwy Bridge: A Six Lane Road to Nowhere

Plans by the Andrews Labour government to expand the Chandler Highway bridge have hit a roadblock.

The Andrews government greatly underestimated community backlash to plans to build a whopping bridge alongside homes that line Chandler Highway. Residents, councils and commuters alike vehemently oppose the building of a six lane bridge as the answer to Melbourne’s No:1 traffic hotspot.
