I'm no engineer, but to me it seems weird that the pedestrian overpass canter levers off the side of the structure, 'outside' the width of the bridge supports. One would imagine that if the pedestrian overpass was a part of the original design that it would be 'inside' the width of the bridge suppo...

Rail line is being reinstated at a rate of knots...

holy balls

On the new overpass - there's an animation above somewhere. Quite an amazing feat to get this completed to a degree that trains can run on it in less than a month!

Looks like the second section was in place when I cycled along Port Road this morning - can anyone confirm?

Looks like the end might be nigh for the G&G building...

Looking north from the electricity substation

More than happy to see this one go ahead based on what it will bring to the area and the skyline. Probably unreasonable of me to expect to personally love the design of every proposal out there. Looking forward to it taking shape.

I'm going to put it out there and I know I'm in the minority here. I still don't think I really like it. The redesigned podium looks great but, whilst I like the glass, the tower element just looks like a fairly uninspiring flat-sided and relatively featureless box to me - a bit like something that ...

Soon, we'll be seeing something similar to this photo from 1955! https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/523/31661682081_617f52e51d_o.jpg Just out of interest, what happened to all of the trees on North Terrace? I know we have plane trees now but the ones in the above photo look much older. Were they all cut...

Overpass sections coming on nicely - the shared pathway cantilever section has been added to the side now.

No, on that small triangle of land where the two lines meet:



Nothing exciting and all filled in now apart from two small holes next to an electrical/signalling box.

I suspect that would be geotechnical investigations going on in order to provide input for detailed design. Trench looked very long though, too long for a trial pit imo. It could well be but I also I wonder whether it's something to do with services or signalling? Either way it's good to see someth...

Looks like some sort of works were being undertaken this morning where the OH line branches off from the other lines - nothing too major, just an excavator and a few people milling around. Also, out of the corner of my eye I saw Channel 7 news mention something about the Torrens Junction project but...
