Why? That would have meant less work, and the bridge was built to create jobs and help economic recovery.

p.s. you mis-spelt rivets.

not less work, just move onto another project. Im sorry I spelt riviots rong...but aparently you could tell what I was refering two.

The Sydney Harbour Bridge was built in an attempt to fight the depression in Australia during the early 30’s, so there was no other work to go to. It employed tens of thousands of people, at many different levels. It was, to some extent, a success as it put money into the economy. The government we have now would never even think about doing such a thing.

p.s. don’t let your spelling bother you, I’m just a finicky bastard raised by finicky parents!

Australia hasn't had an economic recession in 28 years. It's the only country in the world to be able to say that.
The Harbor Bridge is very impressive to see. A true Engineering marvel.

Australia is experiencing a recession right now, but it is masked by the ‘rona crisis.
