The Western Australian Government has announced that Stirling Bridge will become a drive-in theatre in February this year.
The move is to give motorists diverted to Stirling Bridge due to Fremantle Traffic Bridge’s closure something to do while waiting in the gridlock.
The screen will tower over the bridge and a vendor selling subsidised movie snacks will walk up and down the bridge while you lose your shit in a fit of stationery road rage.
A source close to the Government says the initiative is necessary because thousands of Western Australians simply won’t look at alternative methods of commuting so will be a tad bored. Adding,
“Let’s face it, we have one of the most public transportphobic societies in Australia. They ain’t going to just catch the train or bus. They will battle the gridlock every day so why not enjoy a showing of Babe or maybe Shrek?”
Unfortunately, the movies that will be screened WILL be PG rated. So anyone hoping to get some backseat slippery dippery done will be sorely disappointed.
Some within the community have pointed out that some lucky motorists may even get to enjoy back to back movies especially if trucks aren’t diverted.
