I noticed a story recently about a demolition snafu in Germany
Which set me wondering why we don't see that design of road/bridge more in the UK ??
Anyone who knows the A417 in Gloucestershire near the Hot Air Balloon pub will know of at least *one* road where a short (1/2 mile) elevated section would save a lot of traffic problems. (To say nothing of reducing emissions, which again makes me suspect there a lot of bullshit in being green).
I know across Spain, France and Italy (as well as Germany from the video) use these bridges all the time.
Is there any practical reason they aren't used in the UK ? OR is it just they are a "bit foreign, old bean ...." ?
