French lesson in delivering attractive infrastructure

摘要

I commend you on the recent photograph of the Terenez Bridge over the River Aulne in France (NCE 11-18 August).So much style, elegance and inspired engineering has been invested in this civil engineering road bridge. Contrast this with our own recently completed efforts - the A421 as it plods its way through the Marston Vale or the apocalyptic scrapyard widening of the M25 between Junctions 16 and 23 with its soaring and rusting sheet piles.
