Is there not an expectation of smoothness?

At first I thought you were being picky, but now I see what you are talking about...

I was thinking there may be 'interior' finishes to cover that mess up.
I was being picky about the centre of the 'x' to the left of centre on the exterior in the second picture.

That can be fixed with a bit of bondo. Better do it now while they have easy access from the ground.
Perhaps we can get the SAIT automotive students to work on it as a class project.

I'm more surprised by the 'horizontal rippling' on the NE diagonal piece.
I hope that doesn't suggest buckling of the structure is happening already.

Holy 🞵🞵🞵🞵, that would be awesome if it buckled and fell into the river for the Sun's comment section alone.

Just an artifact of the fabrication process.

I know it would be a maintenance nightmare, but I wish they kept the white interior paint job.

I was just wanting to resurrect the thread. I know the history.

So where are they at with the construction? I went by there a couple weeks ago and it looked like most of the glass was on and the walkway was done (save for the guardrails). I'm just wondering when they are going to crane it into place.

They were installing glass yesterday. Quite a long section is ready to go now but there is still lots to go. This bridge is very long....wow.

This bridge is longer than arriVa is tall by 3 meters. It will look awesome suspended over the river.

kw5150 · #**1554** Posted **Oct 21, 2011, 4:10 PM**

Wow, didn't know that......that is a good visual.

stokes · #**1555** Posted **Oct 22, 2011, 6:10 PM**

The construction is interesting but the bottom line is the bridge is unnecessary and a waste of tax payers money..all thanks to our former mayor and city council.

Oh neat, you're going to fit right in here.

As much as I like the design of this bridge, if you were to take that money they spent on the bridge and try to figure out the most beneficial piece of infrastructure you could possibly make to improve the daily lives of Calgarians, I have a sneaking suspicion that a shiny bridge to close the 1.08km gap between the two already existing bridges, may not, in fact, actually be at the top of that list.

I'm sure everyone in Sunnyside thinks the bridge is a necessity.
