I'm surprised all the other bridges in town haven't fallen down yet since Calgary can only find high schoolers to work as Engineers.
This is a little different. It must span the length of the bow with no pillars and must be low because of the helipad in eau claire. Building something structurally stable that long and short while aesthetically pleasing is very difficult.

A bridge I really liked when I was in London was the Millennium bridge. Looked awesome.

From the pictures in the herald of this bridge, I don't think it looks all that nice but I understand it's a difficult bridge to build so I'll accept it.
