The petition of residents of Queensland draws to the attention of the House that we the undersigned request that the Return Creek Bridge in Mount Garnet is widened to a two lane bridge as a priority for the safety for all who use this crossing. The bridge is too narrow for the traffic it services and the give way sign is regularly ignored by a large proportion of drivers.

 

Locals regularly report near misses between vehicles and prime movers due to the narrow single lane bridge forcing vehicles into very dangerous situations on a daily basis.

 

Your petitioners, therefore, request the House to upgrade this bridge as a matter of urgency to ensure the flow of the traffic and the safety of all drivers.
