Hey Hp, you can add in the Calgary bridge news...
http://www.calgaryherald.com/entertainment/Calgary+presence+strong+footbridge+bids/1995064/story.html
It looks like Arup is the frontrunner.
I'll do a Calgary update at some point soon (preferably once the competition submissions are made public).
Morning HP. Old news I know - but did the Lady Julian Bridge ever get any follow-up publicity or discussion in the engineering press (or by your esteemed site?)? I stumbled across it at the weekend and my cursory web searches aren't turning up anything... Who was it designed by? I presume there is a bearing at the top of the A frame - how is it maintained or replaced? Unconventional is certainly accurate!
There's a credit for Mott MacDonald here but I seem to recall that others were involved. http://norwichsteel.moonfruit.com/#/lady-julian/4577964951
