I think it had something to do with the fact that this suspended bridge didn't actually had a tower suspending it. The bridge wasn't supposed to be open till 2019 and they were doing stress tests on it, even though it lacked the main structural element, tower and suspension cables

Kind of the point - though

It was built over 1000 years ago, nigger. Very advanced for the time, but nigger burgers are too stupid to understand concepts like space and time.

I shouldn't laugh; leaf cities are nearly this bad. Why do urban planners have a rectangular grid fetish?

how about 56% of a bridge? see african engineering in action, jackson

Easiest way to distribute property in a high density population and control traffic better.

It took some critical thinking to come up with this solution, but they also could have just put some sheet metal across it.

I've always thought this bridge was overdesigned and overengineered considering how short it is but considering recent events I can't help but think "Wow, it's not even collapsing or anything".

Not even the oldest bridge there is, bro. There is one a thousand years older.

needless to say this whole thing was funded by a dept of transportation grant

Hello! did you know we're Irish? Did you know you're in IRELAND? Oh you do! Well that is marvellous. Hoho, I've got a leprechaun tattooed on me forehead. We love the craic we do, us Irish that is. You're looking for the pot office so you are? Why it's just 5 minutes riverdance that way, follow the road around and take the first left. Oh that's how we measure foot based movement here, in riverdance, not steps or miles or anything gay like those English.

That one's either Los Angeles or San Francisco. I don't know where this one is.

>be British

>fucking I don't know

FUCK YOU

it's transmission fliud my dood

also everyone notice that the bridges posted here of stone have arches and the trussed bridges are made of steel. It's because steel is good under tensile strain whereas concrete is strongest under compression (so unless there a shit-ton of rebar thats fuckedz)

In this example we see a rather precarious construction achieved with bits of discard and assorted garbage. Note the effectiveness, and ability to carry pedestrians, while remaining in tact!
