Richmond Bridge duplication and traffic improvements community consultation phase

This evening I attended the first community session held at North Richmond Community Centre where the RMS and Transport for NSW displayed a number of potential route options.

“The Australian and NSW Governments have allocated $250 million to deliver traffic improvements including an additional bridge between Richmond and North Richmond area.“

All of the potential route options can be seen at rms.nsw.gov.au/Richmond-Bridge

Feedback is supposed to be in prior to 20 December 2019, however, there was talk during the session that the Community Consultation phase has been extended until early January. But it’s better to get your submission in early if you want to have your say.

Here’s just a few of the routes proposed and some of the feedback from attendees.

Once this initial Community Consultation phase is completed there will be an Options Report released (possibly around April 2020) which the RMS and Transport for NSW will then invite further Community Comment.

This is an important issue for The Hawkesbury community and it’s vitally important that you have your say.
