If we just imitating their beautiful bridges, I think that’s fine. Here’s a picture of the bridge mentioned: http://farm1.static.flickr.com/179/466149693_4cc446f8d8_o.jpg
Nice! And to think, we can build that in only six years at only twice the cost!
There are similar bridge designs, though not with same beautiful curve, in this country. There is a smaller one over the Shipping Canal that crosses Delaware, and there’s another one somewhere in the US — but where I don’t remember.
