[talk-au] Q: Bruce Highway Temporary Structure tagging

[Phil Wyatt]

It will probably be a Bailey Bridge (or two?)  in the interim so Graeme’s suggestions are a good start

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bailey_bridge

 

alternating one way will likely have lights at each end so maybe highway=traffic_signals

traffic_signals:countdown=yes?

 

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dtraffic_signals

 

It will be interesting to see how fast they can get this in! Maybe an opening_date tag as well when known.

 

Cheers – Phil

First things I would think are maxweight= (when known) & hgv=no?

 

Oh, & one-way alternating, however that's put?




Thanks

Hi All,

 

UPDATE: The federal Govt have announce a plan to reconnect the Bruce Highway (destroyed bridge here: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/666801953) with a temporary, single lane structure (unsuitable for hvg).. see  https://www.minister.defence.gov.au/media-releases/2025-02-05/temporary-structure-reconnect-flood-impacted-communities-bruce

 

I would like to know if anyone has any advice (in advance) on what tagging conventions might exist for this temporary structure? Granted we need more information, this is simply taking advantage of the time window we have to make any possible progress.

 

Many thanks in advance.

Andrew Hughes
