You know, just making a 820 foot long floating ferry might not be a bad idea.

I was in New Delhi back in 2015, visiting my company’s local office. Next door they were building an identical block, it was already a couple of years behind schedule.
The two guys on the extremely rickety scaffold opposite, and the one a floor above them waiting to guide the length of drainage pipe upwards, were all barefoot. No safety harnesses, nothing.
Life is cheap there, let alone labour.

That was the most spectacular bridge collapse I have seen. Not just one section, but the whole thing!
This is always in the back of my head when I see those newer tensegrity bridges suspended from a single tower, like the newer span of the SF Bay Bridge. There were water intrusion issues and unexpected material failures after building that span. And that was in one of the most technologically sophisticated cities in the world.
