I have a twofold interest in this bridge.

1. In 1973 a classmate of mine from school in Warragul in the 1960s was killed in a motorbike accident “as the result of a collision with a guard rail on a bridge at Flemington”. I have always assumed it was this bridge.

2 My son and his family live in the nearby Lynch Street in Footscray and I presume this street is also named after Michael Lynch.

I enjoy reading your articles.

Leo
