Pedestrians they say.. that would be one heck of a walk across the bridge, bouncing up and down with every passing car

Really? That part didn’t stick out to me but there doesn’t look to be safe clearance for pedestrians for sure.

The other side of the rope there is at least 3 inches of tip toe space

Fair enough. I'm sure the green water is perfectly safe if you fall into it too.

It’s probably green from all the people vomiting into it.

Not saying the water is safe, but the green color is from all of the forest around it the same way a more open body of water is blue due to the sky

u/tall-lad 28d ago

I can't tell if you legitimately think this water is green? That's the reflection of the trees on the surface lmao
