As works continue on the Inland Rail Project, Broadford Residents Action Group would like to sincerely thank the community for patience and tolerant attitude as the town has been disrupted for so many months. We know many more disruptions are coming, so please remain calm and obey the advice and traffic controllers directions.
Broadford was the only town which had 3 bridges, which we all know caused a huge inconvenience to everyone.
