	Sandridge bridge hit by costly hitch - National - theage.com.au
		THE Sandridge Rail Bridge redevelopment — a key Commonwealth Games project — has been hit by delays and is over budget after changes had to be made to plans because of a surprise discovery during excavations.
		Redevelopment of the long-derelict bridge is part of the $15.5 million "Queensbridge Precinct" — jointly funded by the City of Melbourne and State Government, and which also includes the redevelopment of the north bank of the river into a "youth precinct" and the construction of Queensbridge Square on the south bank.
		The bridge refurbishment is the largest part of the project and is budgeted to cost $7.6 million.
