There is something in the character of man which strives to bridge the chasms of nature.
The same desire that urges the spanning of a river also drives man's curiosity about a plant's special use of sunlight.

I guess with the government shutdown, we'll have to inspect our own bridges. This one was good enough.

An original pic of the new Cabrillo Bridge in San Diego.
Amazing how much the trees have grown there.

The Cabrillo looks like a copy of the Roman aqueducts. A current photo might be a nice contrast.
I looked for one, but these are all I came up with.

I started to walk across the Cabrillo to get a better shot but realized what a PITA it was gonna be to get a good angle unobstructed by those damn Ozmanian trees.

Soon to be the view from our AirBnb at Saltstraumen, Norway. You might know the Saltstraumen as the Maelstrom. The tide rips through there twice a day at up to 17 knots! Not recommended for dinghies.

Dan? Was it Dan?
That was PRETTY AWESOME!!!
They had to shave it's tips down because it wouldn't meet in the middle!! The bridge has shaved TIPS! HAHAH!
Also, according to all professional reports, the bridges that connect me to the rest of the world are dunfer...it's just a matter of time!
So much learned...including why the Old Oakland span ended up falling down in the last Big Shaker!
SO COOL. Thanks Dingus!

Great thread, DMT! I've designed and built a bunch of bike/ped bridges over the years. They are always satisfying projects.
And here's one in Whistler that was pretty exciting (2004 photo; I did not design or build this one):

Sick Norskie freeway bridge. The 2 southbound lanes are on the other side of the arch.
I was tempted to stop and see how the roadway is connected to the arch but I fingured I’d have some splainin’ to do. 😬
