I want to shake Jürg Merian’s hand for this one. | Bruno Kissling

May 23, 2024

When I lived in Pennsylvania, my friends and I used to joke that this sign should have become the new state flag. It felt like no matter where you were trying to drive, whether in town or a few highways away, there was always aggravating trip-delaying road work.

The people in Switzerland don’t seem to have that problem thanks to a mobile bridge created by Jürg Merian and the country’s Federal Roads Office. The bridge is pieced together above the affected stretch of road and allows traffic to drive above the workers while they fix what is needed underneath. The bridge is on wheels, allowing it to be continuously moved if the job calls for it. The contraption also provides the workers cover from the elements. 

While it seems like the bridge takes some time to put together, I am all for anything that can circumvent road work. Where were these things 25 years ago?!
