Worst Design Ever

[Hedgehog]

The Eshima Ohashi bridge in Japan - the third largest of its kind in the world - rises sharply so ships can pass underneath. The concrete road bridge, pictured, spans a mile across Lake Nakaumi, linking the cities of Matsue and Sakaiminato.The two-lane concrete road bridge stretches 1.7km or just over 1 mile long and has a width of 11.4 metres making it the largest rigid frame bridge in Japan and the third largest in the world.

That turns my stomach just looking at it.

Reminds me of http://www.mdta.maryland.gov/Toll_Facilities/HWN.html
Used to travel over this puppy when I lived down near Dahlgren. This bridge is close quarters. You daydream - you die! Look up vids on youtube as this is a very tight road.

Reminds me of our Confederation Bridge linking New Brunswick to Prince Edward Island...13 klms of wind sweep bridge...they close it down in storms and winds because trucks blow off it .





This begs the question...Just because we can, does it mean we should?
