Show Notes
The Great Western Highway bridge, a nearly two-century-old convict-built structure, has collapsed, causing a significant disruption to traffic between Sydney and the Central West. The closure, expected to last at least three months, has led to a surge in emergency funding requests, as standard disaster relief funds do not apply. Local businesses, particularly in Lithgow and Bathurst, are feeling the pinch, with tourism and freight services taking a hit. The state government has established a taskforce to manage the situation, with the first meeting scheduled for March 20th.
