December Theme Day: Bridge

Where is it? There is used to be a bridge that a car can cross to other side. The upgrading process is still on going. What we can see here is the cables that used to be hidden under the bridge.

PS.
This picture shows this bridge in distance before taken down for update.

Today is Theme Day. Other DP Blogs have also posted "Bridge" shots. Please click on the link below to view them.

My first thought was The Ghost and the Darkness movie, staring Michael Douglas, which was all about the construction of a bridge in Uganda.

Per Stromsjo said...

Hard to imagine this is an upgrade but we'll have to hope for the best. Lovely sunlight. Is this a favorite bridge?

Keropok Man said...

we shall wait a few more months and i am sure you will post here the completed bridge ;-)


Happy Theme Day!

Kuanyin said...

Happy Theme Day!

Clueless in boston said...

It looks like a very simple little bridge, but I'm sure it is a big job and not easy to upgrade. G'day mate.

Neva said...

Can't wait to see the completed bridge!

Felicia said...

Very nice photo. After seeing so many bridges today, your photo gives me an appreciation for the immense thought and effort put into building a bridge.

oldmanlincoln said...

This construction makes for an interesting post.

Kate said...

Hello Meg and Ben, This is indeed an unusual post for theme day. It requires a bit of imagination to visualize the bridge. Please post the finished product later.

Fénix (Bostonscapes DP) said...

Can't see it now, but I'm sure it will look great once they finish it. Happy theme day.

Wendy said...

It's a bridge skeleton! ;) Looks like alot of work goes into building, and renovating bridges.

What a cool shot. Who knew what the inside of a bridge looked like?

Joy said...

Looks busy. Is it a bridge much used?

Chris said...

I had the same thought as Denton!! Interesting!

Jim said...

How are people getting across right now?

Ham said...

fascinating - you'll have to do the after shot now

marley said...

Hope the upgrade is worth it. Good photo.

isabella said...

What a mess! Hope there are alternative routes ;-)

Sally said...

Every bridge is an engineering feat. i am reminded of my late Sicialian grandma-in-law who once said that if life were different she would have loved to have been a bridge engineer!

smilnsigh said...

You asked if I had a bridge in my entry for Dec. 1. And I did not. I've never joined in the First Of The Month Theme Photo.

I thought it was optional.

I thought one's blog link was only shown with other Theme entries, if you "joined in."

I'm sorry if I was wrong. I'm sorry if we _have_ to do the Theme Picture.

Ben said...

Smilnsigh, my answer is on your blog.

I'm sure we will post a complete picture when it's completed. Rather slow pace in here. They had to take all down and rebuild new one, but need to keep those communication lines alive.

The road following this is called Bridge Street, and this was a very small but relatively good used bridge.
We have few more in not so apart. So, people can detour very easily.

Josy said...

Nice to see new bridges being built.

Helen said...

Nice take on the theme. The construction of a bridge!

Mo said...

Interesting choice.I looks like a big job.

slinger said...

Funny how a missing bridge can cause issues if you use it daily. I have one missing in my daily drive and it's painful not having it.

ah, good concept, a not-a-bridge-for-now !! Or "normal transmission will be resumed shortly"

Château-Gontierdailyphoto said...

I don't know if I would cross the river ont this bridge.
Good idea to show it with this nice angle

Carraol said...

Very interesting, the process of construction. Great angle. Happy Theme day.

Ben said...

Thanks, all!
What left in here is very narrow part (temporary, I believe) for the cables and so on.
The city council is planing to build new two lane bridge which is upgrade from old one.

PaB said...

Bridges are made to bring people together, it's always a fantastic process.
Happy DP Theme !

Ben said...

Cheers, PaB.

Dusty Lens said...

Interesting to see how this was put together...or, taken a part for reconstruction.

NorthBayPhoto said...

Great photo! Definitely looks different now that it is under construction.

Thanks for visiting my NorthBayPhoto blog. And to answer your question, "yes" that is snow in my bridge photo -- we won't see any grass now until March (or possibly April).

R&R in The Netherlands said...

Interesting point of view ... looks like a lot of work to update the bridge.

Ben said...

Thanks, All!
