Twin Bridges!

The Bridge to Nowhere :)..   I've found a matching set.  The first being near Azusa, California and the other being in the Whanganui National Park of New Zealand.













 

The California bridge was built in 1936 to cross above the San Gabriel River.  It was meant to connect to the San Gabriel Valley but was washed out during a major flood in 1938.  The road project was abandoned leaving the bridge stranded in the middle of the wilderness leading to nowhere.

Today you can visit the bridge and even take a bungee jump if you wish, but it's a 10 mile hike with two river crossings.  Caution must be used as several deaths have occurred during unexpected flash floods.

The New Zealand bridge was built around 1936 to cross above the Wanganui River.   However,  completion was delayed due to floods (of course). Now it sits all alone in a lush forest leading to nowhere.

Today, the bridge is a popular tourist destination but bring your hiking boots as it's about 40 minutes each way.  Unfortunately,  I don't see any available bungee jumping opportunities.  Twins, no?
