Abstract

The article explores the myth surrounding construction workers allegedly buried in concrete foundations of bridges and dams in Australia, particularly focusing on the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Queensland's Dickabram Bridge. It highlights that while tragic accidents were common during construction, official records indicate that no workers were entombed in concrete, contradicting popular local legends. The piece discusses how these myths persist in folklore, despite a lack of credible evidence, and suggests that they may be more urban legend than fact. The narrative also touches on anecdotal claims from locals regarding ghostly occurrences associated with these structures. [Extracted from the article]
