Riverford (Bridge Over Troubled Water)
Sandwiched between the University to the North and the River to the south is the small city of Riverford (population 47,000)
When the eastern boundary of Speedwell was set the Aridill city council quickly realized that the competing city was in a prime position to extend the highway across the river and start claiming the Broken Hills region. In a mad dash to complete a bridge first the town of Riverford was founded, and the race was on.
The Riverford bridge was completed first and they started staking Claims. Rather than incur the additional costs of building a bridge for a very limited return, construction in Speedwell was halted, leaving them with one of Sanderra's enduring curiosities: the "Road to Nowhere."
Unfortunately, the expense of extending the highway
and constructing the bridge itself
left them with little resources to develop the other side. Although the Broken Hills would eventually be developed, this would not occur until long after the original Claims had long expired.
Another Sanderran curiosity is the "Statue of Noman" located between Riverford and Aridill.
It was actually erected as a prop by Riverford's primary tourist attraction: Sanderra Studios, the first movie studio on the colony world.
"I have just one question," Dave interrupted. "Where is all the water coming from?"...
I'm on your side
When times get rough
And friends just can't be found
Like a bridge over trouble water
I will lay me down
