    A lot of construction equipment and material were present on the south side of the bridge, which also was the weaker side of the bridge. It should have been noticed that this construction material and equipment were having an impact on the load bearing capacity of the structure.

    It is no secret that Australia’s major cities – Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide – are rapidly growing both in population and in urban development. While Sydney and Melbourne put Brisbane in third place for Australia’s largest concentrated population, Brisbane encompasses the most crowded local government area in the country as well as the biggest population growth rate. Such unforeseen growth projects a doubling in overall population just within the next three decades; even if there is to be increased urban planning and settlement redistribution, all of these cities will surpass their carrying capacities by the mid-21st century. Unfortunately, the desperate need for government action and planning in this regard remains unanswered.…
