I have crossed this bridge a fair number of times, by car as well as by train. An engineering marvel, I'm sure, and presumably an efficiency upgrade from the ferries, though I actually used to enjoy those. But aesthetically it will never catch my fancy. There's something unbalanced, something visually completely off, by this giant construction solidly anchored to land at one end, and then ignominiously disappearing into a seeming whole in the water at the other. There were good reasons for this solution, yes, I'm aware. But it still looks wrong.

It's an enormous efficiency upgrade. It's also an enormous convenience upgrade. That's odd. I actually like the tunnel part, although it can be troubling to think about how what keeps you from drowning are a few rubber gaskets that deal with expansion/contraction of the tunnel. I find the bridge itself to be very rough and industrial in its design. I was never fond of raw concrete structures.
