Safety concerns, eh? Like, what concerns would those be? I want to know since i’ve lived here for two decades and no-one said that bridge was unsafe this whole time! What could possibly be different this time?!

The footpaths in both directions are closed for urgent repairs The road is fine They are worried we'll hop off the road onto the footpath apparently The Ekka seems obvious for launch (trains), but exiting the other end? Wander down to south bank and leak back north via City Cat and bridges maybe

I was there on Monday fortnight. Closed both sides. Have they opened them?

I didn’t check today but they seemed open Wednesday. I wouldn’t bet a kidney on it though.

Closed according to this Doesn't matter. There'll be another landmark. Imagine the arial footage of us on Riverwalk! www.facebook.com/share/r/1BJg...
