I agree - you seldom see that kind "split in two". I have one on the disk that was built across a small river further inland in connection with the building of a power station. They look very sturdy - on the other have they look as the came "ready made".
Re your comment - The bridges carry ordinary inner city traffic - even a tram long ago. However, most of the pictures were taken on Sunday December 28...
reat post. I would love to see this bridge from different seasons :)
Forgive me if I don't comment one each of the posts I have just caught up on. Lately I can't sit long enough to do all the visiting. Not for the reason of some of the kids I used to teach who couldn't sit still, but a strained hip telling me I sit at the computer too much.
There are so many interesting bridges around the world. I am glad that Rune started us looking at them. I enjoyed the preceding posts as well. Your photos are always worth looking at.
What a neat historical bridge! Thanks for sharing it and for dropping by to see mine.
This was a very nice bridge photo series. Great bridge posting, Lew.
Nice story as for me. I'd like to read more about this topic. Thank you for posting that data.
