The only explanation I can think of is "the Belgian way of doing things". But don't ask how it works. Even though they speak the same language and live close to us Dutchmen, they are truly a different people. Have a look at the website Wim posted originally, and be amazed by the number of Bailey bridges still in use. There are pictures of one having its wooden decking replaced and the lower steelwork shotblasted. That would be a good time to replace the whole bridge, wouldn't you think? Especially taking into consideration it's modular construction. The one I pictured has been repainted several times, but some of the sections had severly suffered under rust. I really do not think it will survive much longer under the heavy load of 100's of vehicles each day. But it is a nice tribute to Mr. Bailey's design! ![]() Hanno

Here is an image of a Bailey that is in-situ near Petawawa for use duing the winter by skidooers.
