If I were a bridge, I would look at it such as in Charlotte’s Web, with wonder and curiosity, but aimed at the bridging the purposefulness in bringing people, goods, and services together for increased ease in time savings, higher contact and connection between two shores–very similar to the purpose behind the San Francisco Bay Bridge and Golden Gate Bridge.
Plus it’s fun walk, jog, or bike over them!
I love tunnels too. If I had to be a tunnel, I’d like to be the new one across the Patapsco River in the Baltimore Harbor. Apparently, once a tunnel is longer than a mile, the cost of constructing a bridge gets cheaper. My favorite Bridge Tunnel system in the US is the Chesapeake Bay Tunnel going into Hampton Roads, VA. It reminds me of the Key West structure linking it to the mainland south of Miami. Growing up on the East Coast, I crossed a lot of bridges and tunnels. The purpose of these bridges linking barrier islands and crossing inlets to the mainland seemed vital and necessary, but I think go under-appreciated and taken for granted. This thought goes a long way into our collective US social memory complex.
It’s kinda like the Dali hit us with a pointed reminder how complacent we’ve become on something important like our infrastructure in seaport spans. I hope we wake up to the reality of how much we need to do to bring us back to First World expectations–and not just move paper around in leveraged derivatives.
We can always catch a ferry, but indeed, the clock it ticking. . .
