It was an exciting atmosphere at the Gap Road Community Day in Sunbury on Sunday, as 2000 people had a close-up look at the new rail bridge and underpass set to open ahead of schedule.
Sunbury MP Josh Bull announced on the day the level crossing would open in less than two weeks time, on September 30, “well ahead of schedule“.
The residents were able to walk on the new road surface, and see the bridge’s stunning artwork by Yorta Yorta, Gunaikurnai and Gunditjmara artist and Sunbury resident, Teena Moffatt.
A Welcome to Country and smoking ceremony took place and attendees were entertained by roving performers, music, giveaways and a sausage sizzle.
