Bad place to put the end of a bridge..... Right at the start of a minefield.
Reminds me of Alaska’s ‘bridge to nowhere’: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1541713/posts
Well, it depends on what the purpose of the bridge is. If it’s just symbolic and you want to make sure none of your citizens are tempted to actually try and use it, then it’s a good placement.
We had a Bridge to Nowhere like that in Pittsburgh for many years.
The Fort Duquesne Bridge. They put it up along with it’s sister Fort Pitt Bridge in the early 50’s. But they did not connect it’s north end ramps to anything for another 20 years until the planning for Three Rivers Stadium and I-279 had been completed.
It just dead-ended about a hundred feet above the river bank at barrier. At one point a drunken college student got onto the bridge and drove off the nowhere end.....and survived!
The Norks spent all their money on missiles that blow up instead?
The architects and engineers did a good job, just not the planners.
Makes it a lot easier to get a million troops across the river for the next Korean war. All that’s left to do is finish making a million bugles.
It’ll be a bridge to nowhere if Fat Boy doesn’t start behaving.
It might be useful when China decides to roll into NK to end the Little One’s rule.
And don’t forget Democrat KKK Byrd’s roads to nowhere.
Did the US Budget pay for the bridge too?
replacing the Sino-Korean Friendship Bridge built in 1943.
Why was there no bullet train on that bridge? Poor planning.
eplacing the Sino-Korean Friendship Bridge built in 1943.
so it was built by The imperial japanese when they occupied both sides of the border during the war?
Sounds like the makings of a movie - “A Bridge Over the River Yalu”
According to Wkikpedia it was, in fact, built by the Japanese. They may have just called it the Yalu River Bridge.
Well we call it a “Dirt Field”
Communiest and Environmentalist call it a:
“Green, Self Sustaining, Post modern, eco Friendly Peoples superhighway & Omni directional Non Direction-oppressive self transportation corridor”
with Minimal CO2 foot print
