I can't go look at the moment as I'm away, but my Aunt who lives in Hallen told me she was pleased the bridge was finished a month early, but displeased that it is so ugly. She was certainly right there by the look of the pics ...
But it was I think a very difficult site to replace a bridge - on an angle, on a hill and on a bend. Looks like they have tried to squeeze a standardised straight structure into a bent location!
Though I've not seen quite such an ugly structure like this anywhere before - let's indeed hope they are not going to become common. Maybe it's just ugly because of the difficult location and we can expect better at easier to access sites ...
