The icon is a Gang Gang Cockatoo, which is a pretty cool bird and also the ACT faunal emblem.

Major upgrades to Canberra's Commonwealth Avenue Bridge are underway, with three of the bridge's six lanes to be closed from Wednesday afternoon (7/1).

Construction will be staged over two years, with each side of the bridge closing for about 12 months, starting with the northbound side.

Once the first stage is complete, works will shift to the southbound side for a further 12 months.

Big oof for north side parliamentary triangle workers. Shame the tram is not already running there.

Guess Canberra might have bad traffic for the first time. Glad I'm on the bike, and I don't even have to cross that bridge.
