here...perhaps retired? I traveled to the UK many times in the course of my work. I used to drive by this structure on every trip. I finally remembered that I wanted to post an image for your interest.

Having worked closely with English engineers, it is not really a surprise but, all I can say is, pictures do not convey the awful hideousness of the physical structure. It is massive, ungainly and makes a fella just say, "Huh?" More images and information can be found by Googling "Lyne Railway Bridge".

Have you seen the stories about the "walkie talkie" building

Melting cars with it's concave design. There's a little bit of an "oops' for you.

Looks like the Tacoma Narrows Bridge disaster in the making.
