Easy enough to build out over the road. 

There's just no excuse. 

Yeah I suppose that is also a possibility, but the engineering involved would make it quite more expensive.

Actually... not really... if your going to widen it and redo the stands on that wing...its just another form of support.

Wasnt super difficult to straddle Brunton Ave.

Its more about the will to do it.

Engineering wouldn't be the only problem (if, indeed it were to be a problem). Ownership of the air rights above the road could be more complex than it seems. I know that building bridges over the railway line next to the MCG was delayed for years because no-one could decide who had responsibility for maintaining the bridges.

Just wait until the year that the Pies have to play there and lose. Then it’ll be front page news with all shows talking about it. 

Never happen.

This is Geelong......anything it needs...  a way is found. Spanning Moorabool rd is easy...  essentially the State gov controls space above the road.

Railways are very different.  Austrac controls the permanent way...
