We asked certain “stakeholders”, to use government jargon, what they thought about the first year of the Gympie bypass.
Gympie Chamber of Commerce President Martin Muller said something that resonated with some of our online readers, and that is that the infrastructure linking the bypass to town leaves a lot to be desired.
The bridge on Hall Road, for instance, isn’t wide enough to allow traffic to pass one another in opposite directions.
And the rollercoaster ride between the Victory Hotel and Brown Road on the Gympie Connection Road could only be worse if they played the soundtrack to Deliverance as you traverse it.
But how do we fix it?
Whose responsibility is it?
And, will it take 30 years for those entry points to be updated, just like the wait for the “double-lanes to Brisbane”, which new residents in the area were promised in the 1990s?
