Spit Bridge

The Spit presents the same vexing challenge as Wisemans Ferry. It seems that when a bridge engineer is confronted with low-lying land on one side of a watery expanse and steep, sometimes sheer, cliffs on the other, there are only two alternatives: put it in the "too hard" basket (hence Wiseman's Ferry) or build a very low-lying bridge and drive everyone mad by opening it regularly to let sailing boats with tall masts pass through.
