I will arise and go now, for always night and day
I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the
shore;
While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements
grey,
I hear it in the deep heart's core.
W .B. Yeats

Most Slovenského národného povstania or the UFO Bridge
Most SNP Donau
The SNP Bridge over the Danube
Most SNP is an asymmetrical cable-stayed bridge with a main span length of 303 m (994 ft), a total length of 430.8 m (1,413 ft), a width of 21 m (69 ft), and a weight of 537 t (592 short tons). Its steel construction is suspended from steel cables, connected on the Petržalka side to two pillars. There are four lanes for motor traffic on the upper level and bicycle and pedestrian lanes on the lower level. It is a member of The World Federation of Great Towers
The bridge was built between 1967 and 1972 under a project managed by A. Tesár, J. Lacko, and I. Slameň. It officially opened on August 26, 1972. A significant section of the Old Town below which included nearly all of the Jewish quarter, was demolished to create the roadway that led to it. On the other hand, the bridge improved access between Petržalka and the rest of the city. Parts of the historic city walls were unearthed during construction.
The SNP bridge was the central motif of Jean Michel Jarre's "Bridge from the Future" concert, which he performed on May 12, 2024
El rio Danubio y el puente SNP en Bratislava - Eslovaquia
A roving bridge that allows the barge-horse to follow the chageover of towpath to the other side of the canal without unhitching.
One of a number of similar bridges for which the canal is known. This one also utilises the roadway on the bridge others have the towpath bridge attached to the side of the roadway bridge.
On this stretch of the famous “Mother Road”—the primary US highway connecting the Midwest and West Coast from the 1920s through the 80s—the road is a pair of roadways—the now unused old road (where I stood to take the picture), which was washed out in several places west of Summit Valley by the floods of 1938, and the “new” road, on the left, built as the original road's replacement. As you can see on the hillside near the center of the image, an enterprising local rancher has cleared away the brush in the form of a “66” to commemorate the famous highway, across which generations of Americans migrated west, especially during the Dust Bowl of the 1930s.

What would you guess? Probably a decade ago as a bird was sitting up on those wires it dropped a Malus Lollipop Crabapple tree seed into the ditch at the side of the road. In her not so quiet solitude she grew to be the Queen of the road.
Maybe for people who in live in the more quieter parts of the world may not understand but for someone who lives in one of the most congested parts of North America the concept of walking into the middle a quiet road for minutes at a time and not worry about getting run over and taking in the blessed silence is a simple pleasure.

Many lakes in N Central ND have substantially risen over the past several years - likely due to a connection in these glacial features in the unsorted till beneath the prairie soils. Some of the roadways have needed to be adjusted accordingly.
Over the roadway and through the weeds to other houses they go. Power lines are seen here marching through open fields to connect with other power lines which will eventually end up bringing power to someone’s house, farm or business. What a great invention. HTT
