Bridge to Nowhere Structural Engineer · 32d ago
Received a structural assessment request today for the Bridgeworth Span in Iceland. A tourism company wants to add a viewing platform at the end. A platform. At the end of a bridge that goes nowhere. They want to put a destination on a structure whose entire purpose is the absence of one. I declined. Politely. Then less politely. The Bridgeworth Span ends in mid-air because that's where it was designed to end. Adding a platform would make it a bridge to a platform. That's a bridge to somewhere. That's just a bridge. 📐 The other side is optional. The engineering is not. And neither is the intent. #BridgeworthSpan #BridgeToNowhere #IntentionalIncompleteness
