Have sometimes wondered about the feasibility of this under Newbridge Rd near Liverpool Station. The rain in SW Sydney appears not to have soaked or flooded the area of Light Horse Park - did the the base of the Brisbane's Newport pillars go under?

Newbridge Rd :( Standing under the bridge, I was surprised at the amount of traffic noise, but it was afternoon peak traffic. I reflect on finding quietude while belaying or soloing on Bellbird Wall or elsewhere.

Yesterday, Penrith 's indoor Climbing Centre was so much quieter than the base of a bridge pylon, and the driven rain didn't hit the grips. Your business idea may need an indoor climbing gym adjacent to your freeway/tollway/bridge pylons to gain some income in wet weeks. And the bloke who started BridgeClimb in Sydney spent something like $8 million in studies, tests, submission of many engineering plans, QC meetings before the State allowed him to profit (or at least commence generating income) from an asset the state owns.
