As for the non-native animals, they usually get killed by traffic before they make it across.  |
I never thought of the ice problem (even though Google Maps shows quite the pile-up on the northside of the causeway).
As soon as Google Maps starts working for me again I'm going to do a quick sketch up of the route I think is the best for the 104. I'm going to leave the rail line out of it since it can stay with Trunk 4 across the Causeway for now.
Two little qusetions though for you
Smevo;
1) How do you get Google Maps images to show up on the forum. I always end up posting a link ...
2) And you might know more than me on this. I remember a couple of years back seeing a government plan for a Port Hawkesbury bypass for the 104. Do you happen to know the routing of the proposed highway?
