I take your point, but “tricked” is a strong word - I chose an image that shows the amount of climb. Having driven over it, I promise , it feels crazy steep! :-)
Yours really only shows the centre of the bridge, barely going beyond the supports. When you get a wider view, you can see just how much users have to climb at the start, to get to the top.Image.

Fair enough. It does look very steep, but I couldn’t find a good picture of the whole thing.

Yeah, same, it’s weird that there isn’t one easily findable!

But anyway, thank you for introducing me to this lovely bridge today!
