Another interesting method of building bridges across rivers was to build the new bridge on dry land and then divert the river under the bridge, ideal where the river meanders and needs straightening out to minimize flooding. mzee (3324)

Someone needs to tell our council, it would have been ideal for the Heathcote and Bridge Street bridges. Could have had them all done and dusted by now. :rolleyes:



Appeared like nobody was wearing hearing protection, OSH would be on 'em like a ton of bricks :)

They are probably wearing in-ear protection hence it being invisible.
