Harbour Bridge construction starts today

After months of negotiations and finger-pointing, phase one of construction work on the Harbour Bridge gets started today.

You will notice changes to traffic patterns and by Monday, the lanes on the bridge will be re-configured to make way for the construction.

The center median will be moved to the east-bound lanes with one lane available for each direction.

There will be three toll booths merging into the one east-bound lane instead of the usual four booths.

Also, the westbound lanes will be closed and traffic re-routed into one west-bound lane on the east side of the bridge.

The work is expected to be done in late October.
