_TRAFFIC CONGESTION AND RIVER CROSSINGS

The recent traffic congestion in Melbourne resulting from the 12-hour closure of two key road tunnel links can be compared with the altogether different pace of life and style and operation of bridges and road links in country Belgium.

The perhaps slower lifestyle and acceptance of disruptions comes with some very interesting bridge structures that swing, lift, cantilever, roll up… but with the waiting / delays seemingly accepted as part of life.
