The Port area was a traffic jam with tourist cars and tourists trying to cross the road. Why would Echuca Council or the Road Works ever even consider building a bridge that would enter/exit near the Port precinct? Traffic from proposed bridge will take a shortcut through the Port precinct that is already congested. The tourists bring money to Echuca and Moama. Why divert non-tourist traffic through the Port precinct ??

Rather than look to the future and preserve our heritage and recreactional landscape in the Scenic drive area, the view is to destroy it and create a concrete jungle.
One option on the table allows for only one outcome. In a democratic society consultation and the vote of the local stakeholders should be what matters.

I must say I am embarashed to be a Victorian when the Victorian Government treats passionate stakeholders in the manner they are.
