Read about it in the newspaper. That's some serious engineering.

That is very, very impressive. I'd be worried about crosswinds, though - they can be a bit vicious at 300m....

Looks great but I'd imagine it's going to be a bugger to drive on most days cause that high up you're going to be driving in the fog a lot.

I think it's supposed to sit above the fog, actually.

Maybe. What's its height above sea level? (As apposed to above ground level.)

But I think pyro's right...nasty crosswinds at that altitude. No trucks on this bridge.

Bah. And here I was, expecting to hear about a bridge from Alaska to Russia. Pfft.

Anyway, yeah, that's a sweet-looking amalgam of concrete and steel there. ;)
