We will miss the lifting of the bridge to give access to all water traffic with high mast as part of, for example the rally by yachts to Nelligan. Now we are limited to only 12m which to those who dont know is a very small yacht. Yes, about 25% of those yachts in the marina and very limiting for those in the Bay or travelling the coast. The height made by some bureaucrat based on fake data.
Bidding farewell to the old Bay Bridge and its operators as new structure soars
For more than 20 years, Rodney Plumb has quietly enjoyed one of the best views in the Eurobodalla, if not the whole NSW South Coast. Perched high in the little cabin atop Batemans Bay bridge, he raises the span twice each day and sits 15 metres above the water, gazing out to the Tollgate Islands while the ferry passes beneath. Nearby, the massive new bridge looms and very soon 78-year-old Rodney will be out of a job. It’s been a job he loves. After spending 35 years with the NSW Roads and Traffic Authority, much of it based at East Lynne, where he rose to become a supervisor for the region, he was offered the chance to job share on the bridge.
