Rain every day slows down the progress of work on the new Dambai Bridge

Hello folks,

Have not update this blog due to very bad wifi connections.
As of today, they have only started concreting two of the 600mm bored piles for testing the 1 m diam working pile. 4 of them are actually needed.

However, the sun is hot in the morning but every afternoon or evening the rain turns up like cats and dogs, thus slowing down the progress.

so a few photos and one video to update.

This is the reinforcing bar for the 1 m diameter working pile. Reminds me of some fish traps.
