This amazing lift bridge is located in the city of Leeuwarden, the Netherlands. The long lever arm and cantilevered weight opposing the floating street surface is a powerfully cool and elegantly simple design. It’s a smart solution for a small bridge, even though its size is a bit ungainly, and they somehow thought painting cute post-modern pastel colors was interesting.

    I love it.

    The designer managed to turn an ugly mass of concrete that have a rough gigantic level of sheer force, into a cute pretty looking baby-like toy.

    Hey there, I was reading your post and I just wanted to thank you for putting out such great content. There is so much nonsense on the internet these days its difficult to find anything worthwhile. I showed this to my husband since this is the kind of thing he likes to read online. Thanks for the article and tips.
