FRANKSTON Council concerns over the state of bridges across the Peninsula Link freeway will result in them writing to the road’s authorities to state their worries.

Photos shown to Frankston councillors show the bridges showing bad signs of wear and tear, with cracks and rust starting to show. Tiles along walls have fallen off and graffiti has not been removed.

 

Council voted at their 19 November meeting to address their concerns to Southern Way Pty Ltd and Landlease Operations, who are the owners and operators of the road.

The motion also states that council will “register concern about dumped rubbish on land adjoining the Peninsula Link”.

Cr Kris Bolam said the photos show “two of the bridges in particular, the Golf Links Road bridge and the Cranbourne Road bridge in quite a bit of disrepair.

“I’ve been approached by a number of residents with concerns relating to the wear and tear issues, substandard installation works where you actually have tiles attached to the walls falling down. These are tiles that were only installed three to four years ago. You’ve got graffiti, tire damage marks on the ground, the bridges aren’t being maintained.”

Cr Brian Cunial said at the meeting that the state of the Frankston Freeway was “also appalling”.

“We’ve written to state government about it and to VicRoads, not so long ago they did a bit of work and removed all the trees, spread the mulch out and now there’s weeds everywhere. There’s still rubbish and graffiti,” he said.

    Would have to say the quality of general workmanship over the last 30 years has really dropped significantly.
    People used to have pride in their jobs, now its just a quick buck and onto the next one.
    Jobs used to be finished off to a decent standard, now you look at finished roadworks and bitumen isn’t level and rubbish is left around.
