There is a picturesque lagoon in the city of Garson and the authorities came up with the idea to connect its banks with a bridge.

And there was a choice: would it be a ring-shaped bridge or a standard bridge? Architect Rafael Viñoly convinced the administration that an unusual bridge would be better. But why the authorities agreed is a big question, since a ring bridge is several times more expensive and has no advantages.

When they saw the design of the Laguna Garson Bridge, the economics took a back seat to the benefits: since cars that would pass over such a bridge would slow down, drivers could take a closer look at the scenery and see the beauty of the lagoon. At higher speeds, this is simply not possible. The approvals were several years in the making and the new bridge was really worth it.

The bridge required $11 million in funding. The money was found and the city spent only 1 million from its own coffers and 10 million was raised by private investors. Considering that more than 1,000 cars drive over the Laguna Garson Bridge every day, there is a theory that the bridge provides a kind of psychological relief for residents.
And of course the bridge became a tourist attraction.
And now the real opinions about such structures...
In general, almost nothing can be seen from the bridges, because there are rather high fences on the sides, which are obviously not transparent.
Take our Krymsky bridge, for instance.
When you are driving on the bridge, you simply can not admire the scenery, because everything is covered with the wind barrier or the usual fence.
Well someone can argue that this bridge does not need a windbreak, but still fence that is? So it's only beautiful from above as an original architectural structure.
Well this is a highlight to the 🎂 cake, for the mood))
The animals decided to build a bridge. They sent the bear to the ministry for logs. You, bear, the strongest one, will knock out the logs. But the bear returned with nothing. They sent the fox. You, the fox, the cunning one, will knock out the logs. But the fox came back with nothing. And the donkey says: Can I try? And left. After a while the logs sailed down the river. For a week they were floating, for a month... All the banks were full of them. Soon the donkey arrived in the car. The animals started to ask him: How did you manage to do such a difficult thing? And the donkey answers: I went to the ministry, and all friends were there. But they didn't know how you wanted to build the bridge: along the river or across it?
Thank you for your attention, cheers!
Regards Eduard!
