The Australian Rail Track Corporation's plans to replace the current bridge for the Inland Rail project in the same area is meeting strong resistance from the group.

ARTC has confirmed it will be showing community members designs for the bridge changes, but the Improvers group members want to know why their alternatives option of building a new bridge on Thomas Street is being ignored.

They argue the move opens up options for further development of the Ned Kelly siege site and removes trucks from the centre of the historic town.

Glenrowan Improvers member and business owner Pamela Stirling said the ARTC had been unwilling to consider alternatives such as Thomas Street.

"They told us the only alternative was making the bridge bigger and we said what about Thomas Street?" she said.

"Again and again we said repeatedly 'can you get your engineers to look at it as a viable option?' and they wouldn't.

"If you haven't had engineers out here why are you taking options off the table?"

ARTC's general manager for Victoria projects Ed Walker said they don't consider Thomas Street a viable option.

"That doesn't have the support, in our estimate, of the people we've spoken to in the Glenrowan community purely because it provides the only link between one side of the town to the other," he said.

Mrs Stirling said the Glenrowan community had been hearing the same "spiel" for years and that messaging from ARTC had not changed since the senate inquiry.

Mr Walker said that if Glenrowan Improvers wished for ARTC to change how they communicated with the group, they'd be "happy to have that conversation".

Other Glenrowan locals aren't too keen on moving the bridge to Thomas Street.

Steve Fulton lives on the road and says he'd rather not have the bridge running by his house.

Mr Fulton and his wife Urve have been living in their home since 1979.

"I don't believe the alternative to bring it up the end of Thomas Street is viable," he said.

"They'd have to spend millions on putting in a full overpass system."

When asked if he would consider selling his property to ARTC, Mr Fulton said "money speaks all languages".

Mrs Stirling said the process to date had divided the town, but she and the Glenrowan Improvers didn't speak for the entire community.

"We're not trying to decide for the town, we just want to look at all options and find what's best," she said.
