ROSE BERL’S view about the Lendal Bridge closure is missing the point (Letters, March 22).

The closure hasn’t stopped people using their cars; it simply means they take a different route through the city.

Many road users will have noticed traffic building up on roads,leading to congestion,where prior to the bridge closure none occurred.

Lawrence Street and Foss Islands Road are an example of this.
