Two excavators with hammer attachments will gradually break the bridge apart before the rubble is removed. The construction of the new, taller, wider bridge should begin before the end of the month. | Mount Isa City Council | Facebook

🎬Did you see this great film on the big screen at the Bridge Party last Friday? 🎥While Council was completing the Isa Street Bridge project this year, local resident and historian Barry Merrick was undertaking his own project by compiling this wonderful film, showcasing the history of the old bridge and capturing some incredible images and snapshots of life in Mount Isa. 👏Our sincere thanks to you Mr Merrick! | Mount Isa City Council
