Up

The bridge itself is kinda spooky. The road deck is made up of strong wooden beams. I'm used to steel or concrete or tarmac. It was unsettling seeing such an organic material used here. The other disconcerting thing is that you can see right through the road deck. The wooden beams are about a centimeter apart, give or take. Not a good place for people with vertigo. I walked across since there was no traffic to speak of.

The main thing I didn't understand about the design of the bridge is that there are two cables underneath the bridge pulling downwards and outwards. You can see one on the right side of pictures #481 through #484. What do those cables do? The only thing I can think of is that they dampen out any motion caused by the wind. Maybe the bridge is so light that that sort of stabilization is necessary. Can anyone conform that for me?
