New bridge at Tidbinbilla.
We have just finished the installation of a brand new bridge to cross the Tidbinbilla River. It took a 70T crane to get it into position! This is the final link to finish the Webbs loop.

Testimonial
"Makin Trax was instrumental in preparing the mountain bike tracks that were used for the 2009 UCI Mountain Bike and Trials World Championships at Stromlo Forest Park, Canberra, Australia. With a long affiliation with the venue, Makin Trax started preparing for the World Champs at least 18 months out; identifying the best lines using the natural features of the venue whilst meeting the UCI requirements and taking into account the natural views of the Canberra surroundings, Makin Trax was able to successfully ensure the tracks were a highlight of the event. The XC race track was acclaimed by riders and the UCI as the best on the world circuit in many years, which is a testament to the quality of the Makin Trax product. Using techniques to maximise environmental sustainability, those same tracks used at the World Champs are still being used today demonstrating the high level of quality workmanship that Makin Trax produces."
