Freo Today. 27 March 2024. We reported Sunday that the vegetation clearance and road closures were about to happen on the Old Traffic Bridge project. Well, yesterday, on the southern side of the Bridge, workmen began clearing some vegetation to allow the installation of a concrete pad upon which the drill will be placed to enable services to be relocated under the river from the south side to the north side. Here’s how the cleared area looked late yesterday afternoon. Quite tidy.
