Rooty Hill Road Bridge Overpass May Get Nod On The Head - Mt Druitt Standard

Time and time again, it is good to revamp stories, community improvements in our local papers and I must congratulate the Mount Druitt Standard, for producing a great story that brings happiness to thousands on thousands.

In fact, even though I have recently taken interest in this community improvement , thanks will have to go to current  Councilors Stephen Bali, Mayor and Tony Bleasedale, Deputy Mayor and former Councillor Charlie Lowles and  also current State Member of Mount Druitt, Edmond Atalla. They will have all gained their community appreciation, once the Francis Road Davis Overpass is widened allowing for double the amount of traffic to flow through and make it easier for  all to crossover from north to south.

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.
