UA City Bridge Room 10th June 1998

UA City Bridge Room is one of the best accessible bridge rooms in UA City. Like a lot of the really good stuff to explore it is out in the western suburbs. UACB is located on state highway 19. If visiting it is worth checking out CIT, a nearby drain.

The UACB is a dual bridge, that is, there are two separate bridges, one for each direction of the expressway. The bridges are both box girder concrete bridges, with hollow interiors.

Access to the bridge is either via small doors located in the base of the bridge or via small cracks in the sides of the bridge. The northern span of the bridge has slightly more difficult access than the southern span, but is probably more visited, as there is easier foot access to the northern side. The door on this side is normally locked, but there is small section you can crawl through.

The first room of the bridge is ground based, with a dirt floor. A lot of light shines in from the many gaps either side. This room is quite big. At the end closest to the bridge a large pipe runs from the bridge into a pit in the ground, this is the water run off pipe from the bridge.

The interior of the bridge is a bit like a tunnel, but far more interesting, for starters, a fair bit of light comes in via small drainage holes in the bottom of the bridge. Running almost right along the bridge is a large drainage pipe, made of black poly pipe. It's very dusty in here and sometimes the air is stale. There's often birds nesting in the bridge, and all sorts of rolls of baling wire. Down the other end of the bridge, there are no impressive rooms or anything much other than a drain.
