Missing Link On Rooty Hill Overpass!

Okay, this seems to be a topic that hasn't come into the political/community field in the time I have can remember, nearly over 26 years.

There is no secret that every person that travels over the Davis overpass, which goes from Railway Street (north of Rooty Hill) and join Francis Road. What the simple thing that has  happened, since it was supposedly built in the early 1980's is, it is a single lane way on each side of the bridge. 

See the wall built ready on the south side!
With traffic congestive traffic between 3pm and 5pm Monday to Fridays, it is thought that there is that option of expanding the overpass with dual lane ways on the overpass, which would you believe is just about done. Since it's construction,  dual walls were completed on the western part of the oveerpass, both on the northern and southern end. Surprise, surprise!

See wall on North side of  Rooty Hill
Rob, a businessman from Rooty Hill has advised this would be the best major improvement that could be done, to ease traffic and  make drivers more happy. So this is the time that Ward 4 Councillors, Mayor Stephen Bali, Councillor Isabelle White and State Member for Mount Druitt , Hon. Edmond Atalla ( Also a Blacktown City Councillor) start advocating for this major improvement for Rooty Hill community members and surrounding suburbs. We also need to including Traffic Officers also need to include it in the Blacktown City Council Integrated Transport Management Plan!

So what is now required is simply complete the bridge overpass to fill in the missing link - the walls are already constructed.

Please complete blog poll, at the bottom of this website, to show how you feel?

I doubt this will ever be done. I asked several people including ones from State and Federal government bodies, RMS and local council, no one back in 2014 knew who looked after this road. Now that the local government have had their 10 seconds of fame in the local newspapers, they think that this will keep us quiet and that it will make us think they are doing something about it. If it happens I will be amazed in the least.
