So that is the reason. When we crossed it had brand new asphalt and we figured they just hadn’t removed the barriers after the resurfacing. So glad you jumped those barriers!
3 weeks agoWhen we crossed we checked with the hotel right next to it and the proprietor said it was fine. It was a fantastic experience to have it all to ourselves.

4 weeks agoOh, shoot! I'm glad you got to experience it, but this is the way I wanted to come on our ride from Annecy to Chambery with the rest of our group. Rachael and I rode it once before and I loved this bridge - but I read up on the closure and chickened out - especially if I was going to try to sell it to the rest of the group because the bailout would add so much distance and climbing if we couldn't cross here.

As for uses in North America, décor comes to mind. The only other “use” I’ve seen for them is at races: ski races, bike races, longboarding races, marathons, etc. Those are small enough for spectators to easily carry and probably thd size of bells on smaller livestock like sheep and goats.
