This bridge breaks the rules of a normal bridge.

No one has seen all the bridges in the world, but once standing on the bridge between the bridge and the ferry, it must be the worst bridge you have ever come across.This bridge crosses the living Usk in the middle of Wales.

The Newport Transporter Bridge.

This Newport Transporter bridge has a 100-year lifespan, which is a sign of the era when people aspire to conquer nature but have not had the technology to do so. Encountering difficulties such as low tide, low river banks, it is difficult for the technology at that time to build a complete bridge.

So this bridge was built with a scaffold on high, holding the "burden" to bring the car from side to side of the river. A century ago, this bridge was a great solution for moving things and wagons across a river that could not pass through. Today, there is a normal bridge 2 miles away.
