Project background
The Muirs Bridge on Alfriston-Ardmore Road has a poor safety record. Between 2021 and 2025, there were 8 reported crashes at the Muirs Bridge. That includes 2 minor-injury crashes and 6 non-injury crashes.
All 8 crashes at the bridge happened at night. Three of those crashes involved drivers reporting they were blinded by oncoming vehicles using high-beam headlights. Six involved vehicles crashing into the pillars at either end of the bridge.
Based on the crash history at the bridge, 2 trends have been identified. All crashes happened at night. Three of those crashes were from drivers being blinded by oncoming vehicles using high-beam headlights.
We are proposing improvements to reduce the crash risk and make the corridor safer for users.
