Clip description
Workers replace a rotted timber girder on one of the approach spans on the 1904 Luskintyre Bridge. A crane is used to lift a one-tonne replacement girder into position under the bridge, parallel to the rotted girder. Workers underneath the deck check the timber’s placement. The rotted timber girder is cut out from underneath and lowered by crane to the ground and the replacement girder is jacked into place. An RTA bridge worker talks about the work and the heritage significance of truss bridges.
