The new bridge was put in place at Strongs Road, Jaspers Brush on Wednesday (December 2).
The work involved the placement of three massive bridge girders across the highway to complete the new Strongs Road overpass.

Constructed from Australian weathering steel, the girders were fabricated in Newcastle using Port Kembla steel.
Each girder weighs approximately 100 tonnes and they were lifted into place between 8.30pm and 3.30am.
The work required multiple short closures of the highway when lifts occurred.
Ms Glynn's said she wanted to capture the moment and set up a time lapse.
"I set up my reliable favourite camera the Brinno TLC200 Pro to try and capture the works in action," she said.
"I'm so happy it rained as I love the special effects of the rain on the lens."
