The bridge is being closed from February for 12 months to dismantle the old traffic bridge and build a new $430 million suspension bridge in its place. Beeson said his message to the public was to still visit the strip, despite the inconvenience of the bridge closure. “I’ve actually proposed to try to do a North Freo Bridge wine that Mojo’s could pour, and Old Bridge could sell, and (local bar) Mrs Brown can pour by the glass,” he said. “We’re just working on blends and that kind of stuff. It’ll be something we will roll out next year.” A few doors down at popular eatery Piggy, the venue manager said business was already slowing with lanes closed and sporadic closures of the bridge.
