After hearing about Murrumbidgee Irrigation's plans to remove the bridge across from the Men's Shed, Angelo Macedone was horrified.
"This bridge is vital," Mr Macedone said.
With two packing sheds on Scott's Road, the great deal of thoroughfare of fruit and vegetable trucks makes the bridge in this particular location an important link.
MI general manager of asset delivery Jody Rudd explained two Scott's Road bridges would be removed and replaced with an upgrade, after community consultation.
Yet growers and Men's Shed representatives gathered together on Thursday to say "this bridge is worth fighting for."
They explained users drive on Kalinda Road on the opposite side to avoid the houses and bends, crossing the bridge situated almost adjacent to the packing sheds. Resident Laurence Tovo said its loss would impact the many people who use it daily.
"Our main concern is the increase in traffic from farmers who deliver fruit to two packing sheds located - that is a lot of fruit.
"But it would be a loss to everyone who needs access to the Gun Club, the airport, Men's Shed and Dalton Park."
Patrick Mancini from one of the two packing sheds, said this bridge gets equal if not an exceeding amount of traffic compared to the bridge 2.3 kilometers down the road, close to where an updated one is slotted to go.
Grower Dominic Restagno said his trucks and tractors would have to go on the main Lake Wyangan road, creating time and safety concerns.
Mr Macedone said he couldn't understand why the bridge had to be removed at all, saying "they've spent so much money upgrading the channel but why didn't they do the bridge at the same time?"

A petition was given to council on Tuesday by Cr Simon Croce on the groups' behalf and was accepted, yet mayor John Dal Broi said ultimately it was an MI decision.
Mr Rudd says as part of upgrade works on the Lake View Branch Canal, two "redundant bridges" would be removed and replaced with one "more suitable for heavy vehicles".
"The location of the new bridge was identified as the safest option in relation to the school bus route, following consultation with local landholders and the bus company," Mr Rudd said.
Mr Rudd said MI are having a meeting with those concerned to discuss a potential solution, "which may involve a different location for the new bridge."
