Tharwa Bridge - update

But will it be ugly?

; )

WOOHOOO The bridge is opening at 10:00 Thursday 28 September………

LOL – I reckon the trusses will go back – they do need to keep the historical look to keep it historical!!! :-p

Can’t wait to be able to drive on it again! I’m sure the town of Tharwa will be relieved also!

It’s a bloody scam is what it is. This is basically building a new bridge using the existing pylons, that way they won’t incur the cost of a whole new bridge or the wrath of people wanting the old bridge retained for heritage value. I bet we’ll never see the wooden trusses again, unless they serve a structural purpose they serve only as an ongoing and expensive termite trap.

Take a peek

Yes, my magnifying glass had to be pulled out.

Unfortunately the images haven’t been given the appropriate amount of linky-dinky.
