Gallery of log for Bridges to nowhere

Bridges to nowhere, I thought they were hard to find in the middle of the Sydney CBD. How wrong was I, there was one two hundred meters from where I work!

From http://sydneyforeveryone.com.au/city/sydney/unfinished/freeway-ramps-to-nowhere/

The ramp was once an accessway for traffic entering the Western Distributor from Margaret Street. The Western Distributor was originally designed as a two-level roadway and the parts constructed initially were those meant to collect and distribute traffic to/from the CBD. There was at that time only one through lane between the Harbour Bridge and Anzac Bridge, with the other lanes exiting and entering at various city streets. The “ramp to nowhere” was one of those entry points, it being an on-ramp for traffic entering the distributor at Margaret Street and travelling south then west.

As usual, this is an overwhelming view: You are standing under a huge piece of concrete which just stops there.

Taking a picture of it is hard, since there are buildings close to every side. If you look at the middle of the picture, about 1/3rd of the height: On the left hand side you see the bridge, on the right hand side you don't.
