Evidence: Redcliffe Bridge is a traffic bridge which carries Tonkin Highway across the Swan River between the Perth suburbs of Ascot and Bayswater. Designed by Maunsell & Partners and built by Thiess Contractors, construction of the bridge started in 1986. The bridge was constructed using an incremental launch technique, and cost A$15 million to complete. Incremental launch is a method in civil engineering of building a complete bridge deck from one abutment of the bridge only, manufacturing the superstructure of the bridge by sections to the other side.
