Fantastic , The Batman Bridge is the world's first cable-stayed
truss bridge, utilising a 100 metre high A-frame tower , being only 30 kms
from home I have crossed the Batman many 100s of times ,and actually know
the group of painters who last painted the A frame supports ,one of which
did a hand stand at the very top of the 100+ meter high tower.heres a link
to a pic of the Cable Trolley they use to get to the top.
Cheers
