building the bridge



That's the recent scenario of the Bankerohan bridge now finally under construction after many months of red-tape induced delays by the central government, and agonizing wait (although the agonizing traffic still remained). The main, old bridge linking the downtown area to the south cracked after an earthquake months ago.

At present there are two major bottleneck traffic in the city: this one, and the People's Park entrance.

Locals await with anticipation the finishing of this project. But here's, in my opinion, what could be a foreboding finale. What if, after months of waiting and millions of funds guzzled out, the finished structure would still aesthetically present itself with a dull thud?

Yeah right, the adage always say it's better to build bridges than walls. But it doesn't have to be with bridges that look like drab, soul-less, or worse tasteless walls.
