DEVELOPMENT of a new bridge spanning the Murray River at Swan Hill could be "on the chopping block", warns Member for Mallee Anne Webster. Dr Webster said she was "gobsmacked" that the Federal Government was "stalling and putting at risk" the new bridge. 'Labor's ominous 90-day review into the infrastructure pipeline includes the Swan Hill bridge, we learned in Senate estimates this last week," Dr Webster said. 'While Labor has spared Daniel Andrews' pet monster – the $125 billion suburban rail loop – from the review, a new Swan Hill bridge, at a fraction of the cost and awaited for decades, could be on the chopping block.
