On the road: The Olympic Highway realignment at Kapooka

 

Local studies at Wagga City Library now has copies of the New South Wales Roads and Maritime Services report on the realignment of the Olympic Highway at Kapooka, the little brick bridge constructed in 1880 and it’s sharp and dangerous approaches to be streamlined in a long overdue overhaul . 

 

The benefits of in depth studies like these are that they give a really detailed view of a particular place or area, with information on environmental impact on flora and fauna, historical background, and extensive mapping, clearly labelled. And this makes the studies perfect for research!

The New South Wales Roads and Maritime Services website has the documents available in full for you to peruse if you prefer to view them online:

To view the online documents you can bring your own ipad, laptop or tablet in and use the free wifi available in the library or you can log onto one of the public access computers with your library card.
