Merry Christmas from TheBridgeGuy! The next time you visit Canary Wharf in London, be sure to check out this new pedestrian only bascule bridge.
It is a generally accepted fact that for a bridge to be really, truly memorable, it must first be a beautiful one.

Of the 617,000 bridge in the United States, only around 3,000 have a movable span. Why so few?
Nothing in this world strikes more fear in the hearts of both engineers and the traveling public like open grid decking on bridges.
