This is it.

This is the moment the second Gateway Bridge was joined.

Peter Rotolone smooths the last of the concrete into place joining the second Gateway Bridge.

Bridge construction manager Peter Rotolone was given the honour of applying the final shovel-loads of concrete to join the bridge deck - and it was not the first time he'd undertaken the task.

The 63-year-old former Main Roads engineer fulfilled a similar role in 1986 when the original Gateway was finished.
