Seems both sides of government have agreed the Hale Street Bridge is the correct solution to solve traffic issues for Brisbane.

The bridge was approved Tuesday with construction to start in 2007 and completion in 2010.

A toll thought to be in the vicinity of $2.50 per crossing will be charged, but only until the estimated 200M construction is paid off.

Stop the Hale Street Bridge group is obviously less than impressed with the descision.

Richard Adey of Radio National segment Life Matters has an interesting discussion with the Professor research on Wednesday during his show.

A podcast of the show is available.
