  3. Millennium Bridge After Dark

    The Millennium Bridge in Cork doesn’t wobble like the Shakey Bridge but it probably sees a lot more foot traffic as it links Pope’s Quay and Kyrl’s Quay and Cornmarket Street. The bridge was built in 2004. I have some photos...

  7. A Bridge to Wandesford Quay

    Cork’s newest bridge is a new pedestrian or cycle bridge that spans the River Lee from Wandesford Quay to Lambley’s Lane. You’d be forgiven if you’re not familiar with either area, as they aren’t exactly the most trafficked areas in the city.

    If you’re curious, Lambley’s Lane is off to the side of the old Beamish & Crawford brewery, and the bridge is worth a look at night. Henry shared a photo of the bridge a couple of days ago. Thank you, Henry, for pointing out where it was. I had no idea.

    If you look carefully, you can see all the way down Tuckey Street to Oliver Plunkett Street. During the day, you might even see down to Parnell Place, maybe?

    Here’s the latest news from Cork City Council about the bridge and the newly reopened Bishop Lucey Park. Photos of that to come…

  9. Ghosts on the Millennium Bridge

    The Millennium Bridge has always been a bit of a drama queen – first it wobbled so much they had to shut it down, and now it’s serving up some of the most atmospheric shots in London.

    This long exposure captures something almost supernatural about the daily pilgrimage across the Thames, with ghostly figures drifting like spirits between the sleek modernity of Norman Foster’s steel and glass creation and the timeless majesty of Wren’s baroque masterpiece. The blurred pedestrians become streams of human consciousness, each person’s journey reduced to ethereal wisps against the solid certainty of St. Paul’s dome.

    The Millennium Bridge earned the nickname “Wobbly Bridge” because it swayed so dramatically when it first opened in 2000 that it had to be closed after just three days. The problem was “synchronous lateral excitation” – when large crowds walked in step, their footfalls created a resonance that made the bridge sway side to side by up to 7 centimetres, causing people to walk in sync to compensate, which only made the wobbling worse.

  11. After being closed for almost four years, the #pedestrian #bridge that links #PadangBesar #KTM #railway #station and the Immigration, Customs, Quarantine, and Security (#ICQS) Complex has finally reopened

    The 350m #pedestrianbridge was closed on 1 Sept 2020 by the Perlis #Immigration Department for #safety reasons following series of arrests involving illegal entrance attempts by foreigners

  12. On may daily walk this morning, the river was really swollen. I cross the river on a pedestrian bridge.

    I took a short video.

    (Today I learn that pictures and videos don't mix in the same post on Mastodon. :headache: )

  13. So this morning, I went on my daily walk and I came to two trucks that were in front of a wooden bridge for pedestrians. They were going to work on the bridge. I asked if I could cross. They said they would let me. Then I asked if I could come back, but I got a negative answer on that. So I decided to just turn around and walk somewhere else.

    However, on my way back I ran into a bunch of folks. Every time I ran into someone, I told them that the bridge was closing. I think they tried getting there before it was fully closed, but I saw them walking back, so I think they were too late.

    I puzzled about why it is that they did not put a sign close to the street saying that the bridge was going to be closed. This bridge is the ONE path to get to a subway station. It is regularly used. I'm sure folks wasted time walking to the bridge (which is not visible from the street, since it is in a forest).

    I guess the idea is that pedestrians don't matter, right?

    :headache:

    On the way back, I ran into a lady who told me she did not speak English. She only spoke Spanish. So I subjected her to my excruciatingly bad spoken Spanish. Oh, sometimes I can read entire posts in the fediverse that are written in Spanish, but don't ask me to speak it. I managed to tell her that the bridge was closed, and that I wanted to eat her children.

    Okay, the last bit about the children is a joke.

  14. TxDOT installs new pedestrian bridge over US-75 🚴‍♂️ 🌉

    The 201-foot, 800,000-pound arch will connect Dallas’ already existing bike and pedestrian trails, TXDOT said.

    Nicknamed the "Low Five" by its fans because it connects five trails and it sits nearby, the prominent High Five Interchange.

  16. Woohoo! Inspired by Hans Monderman and others, I've long argued that pedestrian bridges over streets should be rare.

    I'm excited to see that the New York City Department of Transportation is planning to follow this principle - tear down a deteriorating #PedestrianBridge in Harlem and calm the streets under it to make the crosswalks safer! #TrafficCalming
