Update on Tasman Bridge Shared Footpath Ramp

Construction of a new shared footpath ramp on the Western end of the Tasman Bridge will start in the week commencing Monday 9 August 2010.  The shared footpath ramp will replace 24 steps on the city side of the bridge on the western shore.  Work on the new ramp is expected to take 14 weeks to complete.
