Footbridge Discussion

I understand. I realize that I did not fully check the original text in part. Thank you for your input.

Only love is unconditional. If a footbridge serves it’s purpose on a route to cross a body of water then that’s how I would take it. I did post some examples above. They come in all shapes and sizes.

Not a bad success rate. I confess to date zero fails. But one took many attempts. I know why. But got there.

Any look particularly great.

My most interesting one is actually a faux footbridge. They built an activity trail for exercise and placed textured elements on it to help with leg balance but also make it attractive for younger ages with noise and feeling for walking and scootering.

Fortunately it had a website, architectural maps that described all elements, what they did and why the LGA built it - so I could point to all evidence. Without that - no chance of a pass I reckon.

The functions of what we nominate can so vary!!!

Thats beautiful!

Looks great with no snow… Love the green contrast to the white bridge… Got a deep dark snow winter picture :wink:

I look at all your nominations with great envy!
I would like to discuss what pedestrian bridge nominations I see during the review. Both types of bridges are specific to a specific city, since the city itself is located at the foot of the mountains.

  1. Pedestrian bridges over ditches

These are short bridges that establishments install in front of their entrances so that it is possible to quickly cross the irrigation ditch. There are a lot of them in this city, they have no significance, because 10-20 meters from it there is a common sidewalk across this ditch. I believe that these types of bridges cannot be nominated without sufficient uniqueness.

  1. Pedestrian bridges across the canal.

Two canals were laid through this city a long time ago. Thus, these two canals pass through the most densely populated areas of the city. And throughout all densely populated areas such bridges were installed. They are installed approximately every 100-200 m. They look like simple iron flooring with iron railings. They are all absolutely the same. Yes, without them, the city would be inconvenient, because you would have to walk all the way to the automobile bridges along which sidewalks are laid. But at the same time, it is just a kind of path and nothing more.

I think I agree with you about these kinds of bridges just being infrastructure. There is nothing inherent in these bridges that invites you to explore or exercise from what I can see.

It was 7C that day, 11C the day before. No snow up to 600 meters above the sea. This winter is broken in Norway

Time for a portable Snow Machine… :grimacing:

Where the bridge goes across the waterway, the weir (?) itself might be a notable and named structure, so it might be possible to nominate the bridge in relation to that.

Oh wow! The AI summary feature:
