NOTE TO CRANE FANCIERS: The lift will be happening before the end of May. At this stage, (17/5/2011) the results of soil compression tests are requyired before the   cranes can access the site            A new 38m span concrete bridge crossing the River Torrens at Bonython Park is now under construction
Of particular interest is the integration of the cable installation and operation alongside high pressure gas mains located on common structures, and security from vandalism or falling tree branches
