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...
