A bridge too car

Article Abstract:

The new unnamed Melbourne bridge crosses the Yarra River at Victoria Dock. It is privately build as a tolled CityLink motorway and will open in Apr 1999. It has two large spans and two smaller spans. It also has two towers for decoration. The only problem with this bridge is that it has no sidewalk or a bike path. Engineers believe the bridge is too high and too windy for bicycles.

Entrepreneur David Marriner is planning to spend $150 mil to get the square ready by Christmas 1999.
