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

The Bowden /Thebarton  area now has a large range of infrastucture planned or existing, and is a focal point for pedestrian & cycle paths, gas, water, high voltage electricity,  train, tram and motor transport.

I think it'd be good and more practical too, to have a pedestrian and cycle bridge over park terrace

Anonymous: the Gov has thought of that, but it will come only after a terribly expensive undergrounding of the passenger train line to Bowden Station;for which Federal funding is yet to be obtained.In theory, it's all very positive though.
