Summary
For six decades, Swan Hills single-lane bridge, built in 1896, has been a major bottleneck. Despite plans for a new bridge since 1966, its still years away and not fully funded. The federal government has contributed $60 million, but Victoria hasnt added any funds. The old bridge, with weight restrictions, is hurting businesses and causing significant detours. Swan Hill Rural City Council is pushing for Victoria to contribute $100 million to get the project moving. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
