"Stunning design" it is not, and what if you're approaching from the other direction? Now you've gotta do this awkward S-shaped motion just to cross the bridge

What's stopping this from being incorporated into a more traditional bridge?
- crazygringo 5y agoI'm guessing it's to minimize the space taken up on the sides of the tracks. Train tracks are often next to things, so I assume that's what's stopping it -- not having available space.
- gsnedders 5y agoYes; the current (semi-modular) standard design is typically built as a U-shape for similar reasons. Minimise the span over the railway and minimise land-take on either side (which for the intended application is typically the edges of fields).
