"The 10 Bridges you must drive over before you die etc, etc...That young whippersnapper Shiers has definitely started something!

Biglorryblog's blogging co-eveil Will Shiers has clearly started something with his original post 'The 10 bridges you must drive over before you die" This entry comes from BLB reglar Vic Hungerford in New Zealand and he says: "Hi Brian,  You may be tired of bridges by the time you get this, but here are a couple of photos of the Seddon road and rail bridge over the Awatere River in the upper South Island, which was part of State Highway 1. It was in use from 1902 to 2007, when a new road bridge was built; trains still use this bridge. The road bridge was underneath the railway track, it was 3 metres wide with 4.3 metres headroom (maximum height for trucks in NZ is 4.25 metres) and there was a sharp right-angled turn onto the bridge at either end.  It used to catch out a lot of novice drivers with B-trains, truck and trailers and long semis. If a heavy goods train was travelling on top while you were driving underneath it was a bit frightening really, the whole bridge would vibrate and shake.

Mmmm.....looks a 'tight-one' to me...
