First concrete being poured for Tod Consulting designed road bridge

Whites Road Bridge at Landsborough on the Sunshine Coast will have its first concrete poured on Thursday 22nd June 2011.

'This is a great moment for Tod Consulting,' said Chris Dowding, Director of Tod Consulting's Structures Group.

'We put a fair bit of thought into different ways to put this bridge together. As far as we know, it will be the third only bridge in Queensland to use Brifen wire rope as the traffic barriers. These are very good at minimising flood loads against the bridge and they allow a clear open view for drivers. They are also very economical to install and maintain compared to the alternatives.'

'It's great to see construction started. We look forward to seeing it progress.'
