Having worked in Taree for the last 18 years I have travelled over the Martin Bridge MANY times, especially since living in Tinonee. With Taree being bypassed by the newer Pacific Motorway, the bridge sees a lot less traffic again. The RMS is currently (November, 2015) in the process of major works to renovate the bridge.
