[COM] Torrens Footbridge | $40m

As long as people can walk over it, there shouldn't be a real issue.

I'm assuming the aesthetics of the bridge will the part they haven't finished.

Yes it will support the weight of the people crossing it, but it won’t look as pretty for the Ashes test as it will for the first AFL footy game next autumn.

Torrens bridge taken from south side and adding the steel work to the east end for the fountain/water fall

I can't seem to find where this is covered off, I'm sure it has been raised.

the exit point of the bridge on the casino side, has that been addressed? the photos on the renders I have seen have the landing further away from theatre that appears in real life

I just walked past this morning (sorry no photos - phone broken) and the ext just seems to end at a road junction and required you to walk across the road to get to the train station?

It was discussed a bit on the previous page.

No idea what the they intend to do, as it's not covered in the plans.

I went from post 1 through about 30 and then just randomly checked pages....could have just clicked previous page.

here is a close up of the water feature at the oval end of the new bridge Pic taken 28 Sept

Looking good. How close can you actually get to it? Would love a Xaragmata-style mega photo upload of someone is down there any time soon!

looks like they have started the concourse area outside the ralilway entrance or exit leading to the footbridge as its all fenced off now and the guys were digging up medium strips and pavers.

Borrowed from Flickr... unable to re-size where I am now so it's slightly enormous (if a mod is able to fix, that would be grand).
<see next post for resized version>
If this is meant to be "crossable" for the Ashes, should see quite a bit of change over the next few weeks.

Entrance to the Station is the arch-way to the very right of the bottom picture.

had a look at the Torrens Footbridge today and the area just outside the Adelaide Railway Station entrance has had quite a lot work done in the last couple of weeks. The Ground has been painted in blue shapes much similar to the design that was done in Bank Street recently. Apparently the Torrens Footbridge will be functional for the Ashes in 10 days time from now, and by the looks of it they have a lot of work to do in the next 10 days if thats the case. I'm sure it will be done but I'd hate to be on that working site right now!
