Castlemaine Skew Bridge upgrade

Editorial opinion

At last!
It's great to see the State Government allocate $100,000 towards upgrade this nightmare bridge that has claimed so many trucks over the past few years.
I have interviewed so many local residents over the past two years who say they just wait for the next truck to hit the bridge. Quite a few of the accidents aren't even reported.
The Castlemaine Mail has written story after story about this deathtrap including a graphic front page with editorial begging for something to be done.
VicRoads and Castlemaine Police have been working behind the scenes to get this vital funding and well done to all concerned including local MP Damian Drum.
It's great news and hopefully it will be done as quickly as possible before there is another accident, a serious injury or a fatality at this local horror spot.
