Re: Flinders Street flyover

Hi Herman,

Glad to oblige. Here are some shots from this morning
23/5/02 (or should that be 05/23/02!)

Pardon the generally dark scene - but that's the point
of removing the flyover.

The King St shot is looking South down King St (one of
Melbourne's few non-tram central streets). The
Flinders St shot is looking East.

The railway viaduct will remain and is a few hundred
metres South of the flyover.

Genesis of the flyover was an attempt to give King St
traffic a better run in connecting to the King St
Bridge, which was built late 50's - early 60's to
provide an extra river crossing for through traffic.

That bridge connected to what is now Kingsway, but WAS
Hannah St - site of the recently departed South
Melbourne tram depot - aka Hannah St depot.

I could (and often do) go on ...

Could someone post a picture of the area with the
flyover? I can't
recall it.
