Hello!
A few days ago I submitted a very unique bridge. It got rejected for ‘Not being accessible by foot’, but the supporting picture shows a sidewalk. The other reason was ‘Not unique/permanent’ but this is quite unique. You don’t see a bridge like this with a interesting name and architecture very often. Is this worth appealing? Also sorry for all the questions!
Kind regards!
I expect this has been rejected since it is a road bridge.
In order to get a road bridge as a wayspot, it has to be worthy of exploration. It needs to be something that people will come to specifically to visit because it is interesting.
There also needs to be safe pedestrian access, which you do have, so it is likely that the submission didn’t come across as being interesting enough to be a wayspot.
The acceptance threshold for a road bridge is a lot higher than for a purely pedestrian bridge, as the latter often falls into the Exercise criteria, but a road bridge will struggle with that.
I personally think it does have some traits that make it quite unique. 
The average bridge doesn’t even have a name and won’t have any decoration to it, so I think this bridge has something unique to it!
Zoals hiervoor aangegeven, het is best logisch dat deze wayspot nominatie niet goedgekeurd is. Uiteindelijk is het een redelijk gewone brug. Een speciale voetgangersbrug kan wel wat makkelijker goedgekeurd worden, maar een brug voor auto’s is helaas niet goed genoeg.
De naam is wel bijzonder, maar ik vrees dat dit niet bijzonder genoeg is, om deze nominatie goed te keuren.
So, it’s a drawbridge? That’s a pretty common bridge design in many parts of the world. In fact, my grandfather used to run one in our hometown many decades ago. I don’t see this as anything particularly interesting.
Ik vond zelf dat er wel een bijzonder ontwerp achter zat. De meeste bruggen zijn gewoon een brug met verder niet veel dr op of dr aan maar deze is wel ontworpen om mooi/speciaal te zijn. Maar dat is mijn mening!
Nope I worded it poorly. According to google translate its a lift bridge. I thought it was interesting due to the name and the architecture.
Welcome to the forum. I am not sure what you are posting about here. If you would like to discuss a nomination of yours that was rejected, it is best to start a new topic in Nomination Support.
Welcome to the forum @Lotothc
We try to have positive discussions and treat all here with respect. There are often differences of opinion in wayfarer and it is fine to express different interpretations.
Making assumptions and disrespectful comments is not creating a good atmosphere for a healthy discussion please reflect on that.
I this is the crux of your query.
We all consider our nominations to be special otherwise we wouldn’t submit them 
However we also have to accept that independent eyes may view things differently. The value of posting here is that you can read the opinions of other impartial wayfinders and if their options don’t match yours about a nomination you need to reflect on that and accept those views.
I did some Googling yesterday. I couldn’t find any indication that the engineering for this bridge was considered unique for the area. If it was something unusual, there should be a news article or some kind of website that talks about it. I think the rejection is correct.
I have never heard of a vertical lift bridge before, and believe me, I have travelled to see special bridges before. But as @elijustrying says, it’s really down to whether or not it’s special in the area, and if it is, there should be some third party write-up of it that you can reference in the supporting information.
These bridges are called “hefbruggen” in The Netherlands, there are probably around 50 or so in the country. They also exist in other European countries.
Edit: see wikipedia
There is one I know of across a canal in the U.K. 
but I haven’t considered nominating it.
I think the critical part is that the local reviewer pool did not think that this road bridge was special enough.
