Thread: Bridge weight limit sign confusion..

They rammed 4 x 7m poles that were 450 SED, into each footing, then capped them with a concrete buttress before dropping the two bridge halves on top. The rocks are window dressing. This method was cost effective compared to a culvert system that disturbed the stream bed and would have cost megabucks in enviro reports and impact studies etc.

You can see the poles under the cap here, Long galve bolts through the cap and poles...
