This is a seriously cool bridge, located in Leeuwarden, Netherlands (where else?) You’ve got to love how the roadway has a cutout for the arm to drop into; clever!
One thing I’d like to know is, since there are so many Dutchmen in northwest Iowa, why we don’t have a bridge like this near Sioux Falls. Granted, they’re mostly a generation or two removed from the Old Country, and we don’t have much for canals or boat traffic… But still, what’s the hold up?
Reminds me of the Falkirk Wheel: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falkirk_wheel
Not sure how I’d feel waiting for the bridge to “land.” :)
Oh, nice. I hadn’t been by your site in a while. Shame on me.
whoaa nice.
and yeah it does remind one somewhat of the falkirk wheel. :O
