Bridges: questions and Band 8 answers

Yes, quite a few because a wide river cuts right through the city centre. There are several stone bridges and a modern suspension bridge that connects my neighbourhood to the main shopping district.

Almost every day, actually. My flat is on one side of the river and my workplace is on the other, so I cycle over an old footbridge during my morning commute. It is quite scenic.

I'd say I have a soft spot for older, historic bridges. They usually have far more character, like intricate stonework and arches, whereas modern concrete flyovers can look a bit bland and purely functional.

Definitely. Whenever my parents took me on holiday, I was fascinated by watching large boats pass underneath them. I remember leaning over the railings just to see the water churning below, which felt really thrilling.

I really would. I've always wanted to see those ancient rope bridges in the mountains of Peru. It must be quite an adrenaline rush to walk across a deep canyon on something made entirely of woven grass.
