motorway bridges
« on: October 18, 2010, 03:47:43 PM »
Do you like motorway bridges?

If I walk to the trafford centre I have to go over a motorway bridge. it's a bit scary on your own coz it's very isolated walking up the path, but if you're with someone else it's

once on the way to London we drove past a motorway bridge and there was a cow walking over it  :laugh:

well funny but I didn't have my camera ready unfortunately

dunno where he was going

I like bridges of all kinds the more isolated you are the better :thumbup: The only thing that I don't like is when there is not enough barrier between me and traffic if I am walking

I have bridgephobia. The way they are maintained around here that could be a good thing.

I don't go out of my way to avoid them, but I go a little faster to get across them. :laugh:

I cross this one all the time.

by motorway bridges I meant the ones you walk across to get from one side of the motorway to another - the ones that go over the motorway  :laugh:

opps :laugh:  I have been over some and seen many more going into NYC.  My university had one big enough for cars.  I remember when a dump truck hit it it was so loud and I felt the ground shake I was only about 100 yards away it was fine though,  There is a rickety wood one a few cities North of me over train tracks they threaten to rip down every few years

There aren't any near me. 

However when I saw them in Europe I thought they were a mixed blessing.  I'm very lazy and don't relish climbing them, but saw the need for them to get over busy highways.  And I suppose they're less costly to build and are safer against crime than tunnel passages.

There's one near here. Never used it, but noticed it has an elevator. Never saw one like that before.

There is a small bridge near where I live, I have been on it once. And there is a big one next to the train station where I go to see my psych. That one is quite big and has a lot of cyclists using it.

I like bridges!
they look nice.
I don't mind crossing them if they don't look like they're gonna fall the moment i step on them.
