Another bridge underway
Bill Tindall, E.Tn.
In our numbering system this is bridge number 18. It needs a name. 19 is named Sunny Side from the song "Keep on the Sunny Side" made famous by the Carter family that lived a shot distance from this bridge.
The curve in this bridge makes it harder to lay out the deck. It is laid out in 12' straight sections to make a polygon approximating a circle.
Hope to put the rails on by Wednesday.

rails follow the arc

The flexible rails will in fact follow the arc of the bridge. But the posts and curbs will be at the points of a polygon.

All of these bridges, is begging the question. When does it become a "a bridge to far"?
Im thinking something along the lines of
1 Keith Newton
May the circle be unbroken for a name.
Like it!! For another bridge: Wildwood Flower

That is the likely name for B-18. Now we need a compliment for B 17

You won’t beat Keith’s choice—unbroken circle, or circle unbroken.

I have always been for place names. Less confusion. Sort of like our SeaTac airport being changed to some politician's(?) name, and then back to good old Seatac.
