18th Feb 2021 8:00 AM Unanticipated ground conditions have delayed the completion of the new Carrs Bridge on River Drive, Keith Hall, in South Ballina. Foundations for the new Carrs Bridge on River Drive, Keith Hall are being finalised and work is progressing on the abutments. A Ballina Shire Council spokeswoman explained the ground conditions were not as originally expected. The geotechnical investigations indicated the soil profile at the bridge site would be suitable for the designed pile lengths, she said. During the piling operations the expected resistance was not obtainable and piles are required to be driven an additional 20m to gain the desired resistance.
