Upside down bridge yok!

The problem with bridges is that they can obstruct the flow of water (and junk in times of flooding and high volumes of water). Most bridges have very little of the structure actually in the water - unlike this one, which was built so low that it was entirely submerged during the times of heavy rain. You would think that they will avoid this happening a second time would you not...

Not so sure about that H, there was the recent sad case of the flooding in Cumbria where the policeman was washed away with the bridge, or the flash floods in 2004 in Cornwall, and who in Scotland can forget the Tay Bridge disaster:(

This is the last bridge I worked on



If the new one is going to be anything like that, I am more than willing to offer my expensive advice to Fethiye Belediyesi.

Here is the last bridge I worked on, and my day rate is much cheaper than Scunners.

Last few pics are the upside down bridge area taken today, 18th Feb. A deep hole there now, looks like it's ready to accept some sort of piling for stanchions, maybe a decent level bridge will appear soon?
