I'm coming in from the other end of the pier.

We saw the distinctive railings, which we could use.

It's a pity you won't be here to see the first practical use of this bridge.

The Danish State Railways, responsible for the ferry service, presented plans for a bridge in 1934.

44. For future studies, it is highly recommendable to specify the overall acceptance criterion before detailing any further the main structural elements of the bridge.

According to sources, he was inspired to suggest the current design by a visit to France, where he saw a similar cable stayed bridge, the Brotonne Bridge.

Construction drafts for a fixed link were presented as early as the 1850s, with several suggestions appearing in the following decades.

33. During the period from 1982 to 1992 the technical feasibility of a bridge across the Strait of Gibraltar has been the object of thorough studies.

The original bridge was dedicated to state engineer William E. Dean, as noted on a plaque displayed at the rest area at the south end of the bridge.

For the main bridge, the studies present three alternative solutions with three different spans 2,000 m, 3,000 m and 3,500 m respectively.

41. For the bridge in the Punta Paloma Ras Malabata, thorough cost estimates have been worked out based mainly on unit prices from recent tenders on comparable jobs.

For the bridge superstructures, the emphasis was laid on investigating the applicability of suspension bridges since all existing bridges with spans of more than 600 m are built as suspension bridges.

(a) Provision is made for repair to 10 units of 25 metre long class 30 bridges at an estimated cost of 50,000 per bridge ( 500,000)

As indicated above, all designs should be prepared for both alternative bridge solutions and the range of spans to be studied should be enlarged from 2,000 m to 5,000 m.

Some suggest that the original plans were drawn up during the Cold War and that since then traffic flow has changed profoundly, meaning that construction of a fixed link is no longer justified.

Up to the present, studies favour the quot Bridge 28 quot (Ras Malabata Punta Paloma) option, while the evaluation showed unexplored potential in the quot Bridge 14 quot (Ras Cires Punta Canales) option.

The opening of the rebuilt Old Bridge on 23 July 2004, in the presence of many dignitaries, cast the world's spotlight on Mostar and helped further to normalize the atmosphere in the city.

(b) It is estimated that 20 x 100 metre long Class 30 bridges will be required for the mission area, at an estimated cost of 50,000 per 25 m bridge ( 4,000,000)

37. The conceptual bridge solution proposed in the studies is a multispan suspension bridge with the main cables supported by triangular pylons on gravity base concrete piers, which is considered to be the most technically feasible solution with the present knowledge of the soil conditions.

38. Two main bridge alignments have been retained in the studies. The one which has been most intensively studied is the 28 km long alignment between Ras Malabata in Morocco and Punta Paloma in Spain ( quot Bridge 28 quot ), which presents the lowest waterdepth.
