Why is Duluth's Bong Bridge curved?

The Bong bridge is curved so 46th avenue west in Duluth can meet up with Belknap St. in Superior. The old Arrowhead bridge which this bridge replaced in the 80s also met up with Belknap in Superior, but they didn't start at the same place in Duluth. Now, that's assuming you're talking about why the road curves around while you're on the bridge. If you mean why is the central span of the bridge curved, that's something completely different. The Bong bridge is a Tied-arch bridge. Which is a type of bridge that has minimal horizontal movement and can be built on tall piers in unstable soil so that could be why they chose that design.


Why is there no bridge to Port Aransas TX?

According to this old link ( www.window.state.tx.us/tpr/btm/btmtr/tr13.html ) with 1991 figures, it cost $1.2 million per year to operate the ferry and it would cost over $88 million to build a bridge. The document does not say that it is technically impossible to build a bridge, but it does mention that there would be a minimum height requirement due to the tall ship traffic.
