    Completely off topic - Bridge Terenez

    Hi all

    Some longtime ago I mentioned the above new bridge - novel in that its a suspension bridge on a curve, a world first!

    This is now nearing opening and rumoured to be the tape cutter Little Sarko!

    I now realise, the Tyne bridge is Terenez but just as an infant, several years ago!

    Both very cool bridges!

    Absolutely magnificent, that faced with a simple problem, to "bridge" a gap, and the solution is not the simplest (straight line), but rather the most spectacular!

    Peter !!

    I am shocked !!!!!

    My picture is of the Gateshead bridge :)

    I put 'ours' in quotes because of course it is yours but not really mine ... well it was but only for a short time, too short

    I still have many found memories of Newcastle ... and the first person who welcome me there off the train from London was Peter Laughing

    Re: Completely off topic - Bridge Terenez

    Bridge opened last weekend - the sharp suit(the little hungarian) didn't turn up to cut the ribbon, must have been sorting plans for Libiya, done by the two mayors of communes either side of the river and the president of the regional council

    just for info!

    salut
