Final closure of State Highway 2 for bridge beams lift
planned for 5 September
The final set of three bridge
beams for the new Haywards Interchange on State Highway 2
will be placed on the night of Monday 5 September,
completing a major milestone for the elevated
roundabout.
On Monday 5 September, State Highway 2 will be
reduced to one lane each way, just north of State Highway
58, from around 6.30pm. The placement of the 70-tonne
reinforced concrete beams will require a series of rolling
approximately 30-minute road closures on State Highway 2
from 10pm through the early hours of Tuesday morning (6
September). The road will be open as normal from
5.30am.
High winds are the only weather conditions which
will prevent the bridge beam lifts going ahead as
planned.
An additional four beams will be used for the
pedestrian overbridge linking Annabell Grove to Manor Park
railway station, however this can be constructed without the
need for full road closures. This work is now expected to
take to place in
October.

Five years on from the mosque shootings, this is one of the cultural headwinds that the Muslim community has to battle against. Whatever messages of tolerance and inclusion are offered in daylight, much of our culture tends to be hostile to Islam when we’re sitting in the dark, with popcorn. Any number of movie examples come to mind, beginning with Rudolf Valentino’s role (over a century ago) as the romantic Arab hero in The Sheik... More
