Hi Luke: You will remember me as the guy who says moderne/non historique. I just wanted to let you know that I like this bridge. It is not some generic MOB, and it is a great add.

Before someone comes in here screaming"moderne/non historique", this bridge is notable because it's attached to a lifting mechanism mounted on a barge, making it a lift/floating hybrid sort of bridge.
