7. www.nt.gov.au DEPARTMENT OF CONSTRUCTION AND INFRASTRUCTURE The dump trucks are the biggest machinery on this project. They weigh 100tonne when fully loaded – or 75 small cars.

8. www.nt.gov.au DEPARTMENT OF CONSTRUCTION AND INFRASTRUCTURE Roadworks: The construction of the road called for the movement of 600,000 tonnes of dirt.

10. www.nt.gov.au DEPARTMENT OF CONSTRUCTION AND INFRASTRUCTURE Explosives Overall 73.5 tonnes of explosives were used! The police had to be notified during some of the blasting so that they did not think that it was someone trying to escape from the prison which backs onto the extension of Tiger Brennan Drive.

11. www.nt.gov.au DEPARTMENT OF CONSTRUCTION AND INFRASTRUCTURE What is actually being built? When it has all been completed there will be: Two road overpass bridges A pedestrian and cyclist bridge And also many smaller structures.
