The extension of the viaduct arch over Allison Street under construction in September 1912

The extension of the viaduct arch over Allison Street under construction in September 1912. Each new brick arch was constructed on a wooden forma, which supported the arch and would only be removed once the cement was dry. The wooden forma here was supported on braced wooden pillars either side of the roadway, so as not to interfere with traffic. The new entrances in to the warehouse Sheds can be seen on the right.
