HFF from the bridge

HFF from the bridge
This is the traffic bridge, a suspension one, which we crossed a couple of times on the Indus River in far north Pakistan. It is actually a fairly typical example…I have crossed many of these, many times. As the vehicle proceeds across, the whole bridge sways and bounces. I have added the pic from last Friday of what this bridge looks like from a distance, for scale. It is the only accèss to a number of small villages on a steeply ascending and curving dirt track up to almost 3800meters. One has to have a very skilled driver. One wrong move drops you down huge precipices !
Have a super fantastic Friday, and a weekend to remember, happily, of course!

Excellent capture The suspension cables look pretty solid but the deck is very ramshackle. As you have crossed bridges like this many times they are probably safer than they look!
HFF Diana. Have a great weekend.

Being a suspension bridge, I can imagine the movement. That said, it doesn't really look suitable for anything more than a very light vehicle. HFF and have a great weekend, Diana. Big huggss. XX

Scary. I think too that those mountain roads would be just as scary. Great to see but a nightmare to drive I would imagine. Well done.

HFF, enjoy the weekend. Herb
