I'm jealous of the bridge crossing! I was gutted to learn it would be closed to vehicles today for the crackers pedestrian walking event. I have been known to go a long way out of my way to cross an "interesting bridge". In fact, that is the refrain in our car whenever a particularly pathetic bridge looms into view. "Interesting bridge! Stop, dad! Take a photograph!" Ad infinitum.

It's a lovely bridge. Being 'local' I have watched it being built, and I don't think it's a great looking bridge from afar. Driving over it, the towers and cables are like a series of large feathers. It's a really elegant thing and a unique experience.
