Currently Forgan Bridge carries about 30,000 vehicles per day and this is expected to increase to 40,000 over the next 20 years. Drivers experience heavy congestion along the Mackay-Slade Point Road link, which encompasses Forgan Bridge. This congestion often backs traffic up through intersections as far back as Evans Avenue (Kooyong intersection). The bridge was built in 1937 and is nearing the end of its working life. There is a $1.7 million maintenance program in place to keep the bridge operational until the new bridge is opened.
