I looked at the span and the design.

I think this bridge will be in the news again real soon.

—”I looked at the span and the design.”

A most handsome cat curve!
No need to worry.

Have you ever visited the Kinsua Bridge Skywalk? It was, at one time of day, the highest and longest railway bridge in the world until it’s collapse during a tornado. It’s now a state park and attraction in NW Pennsylvania. The walkway extends out about 600 feet.

For curiosity sake, what is your main concern, do you think that wind may pose a problem?
