Puzzle Description:

Yesterday I took a boat ride under the Tappan Zee bridge under construction. The old bridge is still in use; it was scary to see the rust and poor condition. The new bridge is two spans, with one of them almost completed. The puzzle shows the old bridge, one of the new spans and the giant crane/boat they've been using. http://www.newnybridge.com/photo/

Not being an engineer and having no talent in that direction, I find it mind boggling that there are those that can plan huge complicated projects down to the last tiny detail. And building massive bridges over large bodies of water? Hard to imagine. Yet they have been building bridges for centuries.

Very cool puzzle! Appreciate that the blank lines to the right actually contribute to the layout, aren't just stuck on to make even fives. Wish I could see this myself, love taking photos of the underside of bridges.

That was a fun puzzle, Susan. I was expecting to see an old and new stove. :-)

I checked out the photos and that is some huge bridge span. Its over the Hudson River in NY.

There is an interesting one-minute time lapse video on the main page: http://www.newnybridge.com/

It's always good to build new bridges. ^-^

But don't burn them!

Right. If you burn them behind you, you might burn your behind.

Hyperlinks don't work in the description. You have to put any links into a comment.

Edit: I see that Teresa already put the link in her comment. :)

I just drove over the Tappan Zee the other day. Pretending I don't know about the rust, etc. :)
