I was there on the opening day (well the day you got to walk over it), as a lad of 14 years. I remember there were these drainage holes that people kept on slipping a leg into, and really hurting themselves.
The opening day must have gone over schedule; as at about 6:30pm the police where driving up and down on the load speaker saying "It's time to go home everyone, time for dinner."
(Which I thought, at the time, was quite amusing.)
Imagine what it's going to be like for Clem7's opening, same with the duplicate Gateway. But then again, they are building the duplicate Gateway with a pedestrian path!
I'd advise Anna Bligh, to not cap the people allowed to come to Gateway 2 opening in May, unlike what Campbell Newman did for Clem7 opening couple of weeks back, where numbers were capped at 50,000 people.
i wish i can get a chance to design something like this in the future :D

The traffic on that bridge is a freekin joke.
So now they're building another one just like it right next to it.

Should have been done years ago. Then again the population has some what exploded up here in Queensland.

Even without the recent population explosion, it should have been done years ago.
