Current Bridge
A new 292-metre (958 ft) long concrete cantilever bridge, with two lanes and a fenced walkway for pedestrians and cyclists. It was built right along side of the old, narrow bridge in 1981. The bridge carries the highway 70.
The bridge was hit by a large shrimp trawler in the New Year's Day Storm of 1992.

Famous quotes containing the words current and/or bridge:
“What in fact have I achieved, however much it may seem? Bits and pieces ... trivialities. But here they won’t tolerate anything else, or anything more. If I wanted to take one step in advance of the current views and opinions of the day, that would put paid to any power I have. Do you know what we are ... those of us who count as pillars of society? We are society’s tools, neither more nor less.”
—Henrik Ibsen (1828–1906)
“Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down.”
—Paul Simon (b. 1949)
