Just before we flew to the UK, we had a look at the new Samuel Beckett bridge in Dublin, which just arrived from Holland (!). I would never have imagined whole bridges being pre-fabricated and transported.
You can read about it leaving Rotterdam here and about it arriving in Dublin here. As you can see, it’s not just a little whimp of a bridge either.
The project reminded me of a conversation with Willem a couple of weeks ago when he showed us some of the Delta Plan construction and he mentioned spin-off projects around the world for Dutch engineering. This looks like another spin-off from those engineering works. Perhaps I might be excused of having some remaining Dutch pride.
