    Hmmm - 100m high, 600m offshore. I wonder how deep the piling would need to be on that little structure?

    Apparently the Millau Viaduct in France is 270m above the valley below.
    So I think the Rail Sea Bridge that is approx 145m high at one end is far from impossible.

    If this is built, I think it would be a tourist destination in its' own right. People will visit Stanwell Park just to see the Rail Sea Bridge.
    Also if it is built, I believe it would easily claim world record for highest bridge over sea.

    I read the newspaper article. Sorry I'm not Heathcote MP Lee Evans :)
    I would guess he doesn't even know what a ruling gradient is.

    NSW government should build this. Only question is how many $billions will it require?
