The screens will be installed on Arthur, Parkham and Charles Street pedestrian bridges throughout December. Work on Woolloomooloo and Moore Park Garden's bridges are planned to occur early next year.

The management of the Eastern Distributor apologises for any inconvenience caused during this essential work.
