rectifying the poorly designed bridge

whoever designed and built this pedestrian bridge forgot about the pedestrians who need to bypass the bridge and move by the side. if you are doing so, you may have to step onto the road to walk past this overhead bridge.


sometime ago, in july, i blogged about this poorly designed pedestrian bridge. i do not know if someone from land transport authority read about it and decided on immediate action to rectify it or they had already planned to do so even before i blogged about it. however, towards the end of september, they started constructing a new foot-path for pedestrians so that they no longer need to step onto the road while walking past this bridge.

poorly designed pedestrian bridge

whoever designed and built this pedestrian bridge forgot about the pedestrians who need to bypass the bridge and move by the side. if you are doing so, you may have to step onto the road to walk past this overhead bridge. (see middle picture)

it must be one of the earlier pedestrian bridges because it is totally iron - rust has set in at a few points - and concrete and there are no troughs at the sides for the bougainvillea plants.
