TRAFFIC ALERT
23 October 2009
SYDNEY HARBOUR BRIDGE AND ROADS
CLOSED THROUGHOUT THE CITY THIS SUNDAY
The RTA is warning motorists of significant changed traffic conditions this
weekend throughout the city and is advising people to use public transport to avoid
delays.
The Sydney Harbour Bridge will be closed between 1am and 1pm on Sunday 25
October and its bridge deck transformed for the Breakfast on the Bridge event,
part of the Crave Sydney festival.
Entry to Breakfast on the Bridge is by ticket only.
Other events in Sydney on Sunday include open days for both the Sydney Opera
House and the Royal Australian Navy as well as the Seven Bridges Walk.
Combined with the Breakfast on the Bridge event thousands of people are
expected to move into the city and Garden Island this weekend.
This will mean significant road closures and special event clearways to help traffic
flow around the Sydney CBD, North Sydney, The Rocks, Millers Point,
Chatswood, Artarmon, Rozelle, Drummoyne and Lane Cove.
Special event clearways mean changed parking conditions for residents and
motorists and the RTA is advising everyone to check where they can park or risk
being fined.
Motorists planning a trip into the city on Sunday can still use Anzac, Gladesville
and Ryde bridges. However, if you are intending to use the Sydney Harbour
Tunnel expect significant delays and allow for extra travel time.
A family fun day pass for $2.50 per person is available which entitles you to
unlimited travel on Sydney's buses, trains and ferries every Sunday. The ticket will
even take you to Newcastle and Wollongong.
