one of the concrete companies hired my bro at least 5 years ago to drive a concrete truck for the construction of that, got got disillusioned with a several year gap of RMA crap that made no difference to the end design - well done those pollies!

a nice little bypass for when the traffic is heavy. found that little road last year when there was a huge accidnet that blocked traffic up for about 4-5hrs nice gravel road and i was surpirsed to see such a huge bridge so close to the main road yet it was completly hidden from view.

Is that a made in China sticker I can see on the underside? Bags not to be first to drive over it.

I tell ya - I don't like riding on the clip-ons over the harbour bridge any more. They are getting seriously warped. Particularly the west one.

A friend is a construction supervisor on it and it's built by the same company that the motorway that hangs out over the sea in NSW: http://www.coffey.com.au/Default.aspx?aCateId=553
(I believe). He's australian anyway. Pretty sure of the facts. So no, it's not imported from China...

Does anyone know when the new Orwea Tunnel Extension on SH1 is going to open ?

[Little Miss Trouble]
