Pedestrian access was granted from 8am to 5pm with police on duty to inspect permits, however, with stricter measures in place from midnight, the bridge may be off limits as it was when the border closure was introduced two weeks ago.

IN OTHER NEWS:
Tia works at the Corowa IGA store and Mr Plum has concerns if he's unable to pick her up after a shift.
"Somewhere along the line she will be relying on other people which is making them do unessential travel and you're potentially putting an extra person at risk," he said.

Mr Plum believes the border closure has created division between the two states.
