Thank you for your time and attention to a subject I clearly know a lot about.
Another fun engineering fact about bridges: They work better, for vehicle travel, when they are above the water Vehicles tend to not drive good under water. So bridges, ideally = above water
A bridge that is underwater, yet fully enclosed and encapsulated, and is water tight is called a tunnel
@Hsolo275 "So bridges, ideally = above water" ...some truths are timeless...
@Hsolo275 Also, boats work better when not having to sail thru sub-surface bridge debris.
