That's got to be a contender for 'most pretentious bridge design ever' Laughing

Why does it need to be a circle?

Hiyoshi dam, near Kyoto if I remember rightly. Thats the view down from the dam itself. No, I have no idea why the engineers access road has a bloody great circle in it either Smile

It's actually quite an interesting structure, one of Japans first modern 'earth' dams as opposed to their form of rolled concrete.

Perhaps it has to be circular in case two wide vehicles need to use it from each side at the same time, they could always go to the left like a roundabout, and there would be no crashes...

Having thought about that they could have just built a wide straight bridge...

I dunno, looks cool though. Very Happy

Maybe the designer was a bit drunk when he was designing it and the room was spinning around in circles....................

On a serious note maybe there was no straight barriers, so with a few hundred bent ones they just made do with those instead.

Welcome to Japan's newest water ride.

The engineer took it a little too seriously when he was told to 'think outside of the box'
