>The Bridge over the….#307

>…Windmühlenstrasse (Windmill Road).

This is one of those things that happen around here with amazing frequency and you just stand there and shake your head.

(Remind me to tell the story of the new Mainz 05 stadium sometime…)

This bridge spans the Windmühlenstrasse and links the Eisgrubweg with the Zitadelle.
Was in need of some serious TLC last year, so it was closed off, repaired, renovated and now looks as flash as a rat with a gold tooth.

Except someone forgot to check what the regulations were concerning handrail heights.

You’ve guess it – a couple of centimetres too low.

New handrail at no little expense

I sometimes seriously doubt whether these people could organise a p1$$up in a brewery…

>Hi,ich muss das auf deutsch schreiben, dafür ist mein englisch nicht gut genug. Ich denk, hier tust du dem amtsschimmel ausnahmsweise unrecht. Die Brüstung schließt rechts und links wieder genauso an die seitlichen Mauerwerke wie zuvor. Nur wurde die Brücke stabiler gebaut, damit sie auch für LKW tragfähig ist. Dadurch wurde die Fahrbahn höher. Ganz sicher bin ich mir nicht, vielleicht weißt du ja mehr.
