Are there any plans to improve the ramp to the tunnel under the Gladesville Bridge? For older riders with heavy e-bikes, it's a killer and the 'walking' ramp is narrower and steeper than in the photo. Then even if you manage to get up to the main road, one still has to cross lanes of traffic to get to the other side, the whole section from the ramp to the road just scares me!
If you are not using Huntleys Point Rd, you are probably making it too hard. Will it improve, not until a politician wants to use it. Bit of a disgrace
Good write-up. Cruising down Tarban Creek is a delight. As an alternative I've then gone up to Vic Rd after Waruda Place and over the overpass, coming then to the bridge from the other end of Huntley's Point Rd. Shorter, steeper.
I ‘rode’ the western side of Gladesville Bridge once and echo the message here. It's super narrow with projecting structural elements that make it very not safe, rather terrifying and liable to give you bashed ankles at least. And by the time you realise you're stuck it's too late to turn around.

The east side is gorgeous though!
Have you crossed to the Gladesville hospital using the tunnel under Victoria Rd ?
