Melbourne Hospital. As traffic is always busy and a clear traffic is always needed for the active hospital, the construction of the Institute requires a lot of coordination of timing.

There is a steel framed bridge connecting the Institute and the hospital. There are probably roller joints on either side. It is built out of coated steel universal beams and has top and bottom truss. The steel are probably manufactured offsite, then bolted and welded on site. This can offer a very quick construction process as it has to be built across the road.! Both the hospital and the Institute has floors with different height. They are for certain purposes and it can be seen that ducts are built in for special equipments, the level in hospital shows truss formation which indicate that extra load will exist in that level.!
