    CT, I sent you a message but I'm not great with social media so here it is again ..Hello mate, I hope you are all well. The stuff I posted on Millersmad is all true and we are very sad to hear of Phil's passing, but thank you for letting us know. Maybe I shouldn't be so honest and open on Millersmad, but life is too short to worry about it eh? Cheers mate and hope to have a beer or whisky together when our daughter moves over to your coast ��

    GT Ponton footbridge, about 100 miles south on the A1. The original bridge had major welding failures so we built this new one. It made national news back then. Make sure you duck when driving under it lol

    Thanks for the FB message, Sota. You'll have seen my reply, I hope. I'd be interested in more photos (and that's a good looking bridge you've just put up!.) I had an interesting exchange with his daughter where I was able to send her a couple of letters I'd scanned that Phil sent to me in 1962. His wife and mother (still alive) were so pleased to see them. We also both had separate photographs taken at the Listerdale School May Day in 1961 which were taken during a Maypole dance within seconds of each other by the official photographer...

    CT/Sota - sorry to hear about the loss of your mutual acquaintance.

    The agency I work for are into building bridges (or contracting it out). Luckily for them, I'm not involved in that part of the business. Here's an impressive lump of concrete.

    Thanks, CAM...

    I'm finding the bridge projects on here increasingly ambitious...what's next!

    On my last (actually, only,) visit to Seattle, I found the road system, almost incomprehensible - especially traveling on the north-south highways. I think you're bridge is on an east-west freeway but I hope it helps simplify things!

    Not for drivers unfortunately as it will carry trains.

    Bit late for this but I eventually found a picture of ours. (I'd admired your other dry creek bridge in the earlier garden pictures, CAM)

    Sorry, it's come out sideways. It was the right way up in my file and I can't see how to change it...
