The Most Frightening Bridge Ever
By Mark Flippo
Storseisundet Bridge (Norwegian: Storseisundetbrua) is the longest of the eight bridges that make up the Atlanterhavsveien (“The Atlantic Road”), the road connection from the mainland Romsdal peninsula to the island of Averøya in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway. The bridge named Storseisundet makes a sharp bend as it jumps over a number of small islands and waterways. The approach to the bridge looks scary as the bridge seems to end abruptly and as if any attempt to proceed would result into the vehicle flying out and dropping into the waters below. Storseisundet Bridge is a cantilever bridge that is 260 metres (850 ft) long and with a maximum clearance to the sea of 23 metres (75 ft). It was opened on 7 July 1989.
At first glance you wonder why they would build such a bridge. Then I thought maybe it has a great lookout place to photograph the sea. It is a real highway you just disappear when you go over the top but not in a bad way. Engineers have learned how to work with the geography rather than against it. It takes some feats of structure and nerves building these things to make them real.
We have grown a long way in our understanding of nature. We can build higher and higher. Structures have become mammoth these days. It would be great if everyone's knowledge of their Heavenly Father had grown as much. It seems only a few will. God selects who to share info about Him! The prize is much more valuable with God! Many things fail and fade into time but God's Words gets more and more powerful with time! Praise God!
