In Leeuwarden,
Netherlands they enjoy the comforts of a robotic overlord controlling a road bridge.
It looks less like a bridge than a giant transformer crouching next to the river,
holding down a thin spatula of road surface.
From the road lines on the bridge arm it looks like cars just drive over the entire surface of the thing.
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.
