[talk-au] PSA: Bruce Highway Bridge Destroyed

[Andrew Hughes]

Hi All,

Just letting everyone know that we (Caleb and I) took the liberty in
(saddly) tagging the Ed Kratzmann Bridge (over the Ollera Creek) QLD as
destroyed, see https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/666801953

As you can see in media reports, the bridge will be out of action for many
months while TMR repair/rebuild the bridge.

As this is part of the A1 / Bruce Highway I thought it would be best to
bring it to the attention of all. Especially those who are performing
routing (as this will have a significant yet realistic affect).

I would also suggest that when we know construction is to resume, that we
tag this as "under construction".

Kind regards
Andrew Hughes
