The Moses bridge

thernkworks · 2012-09-28T16:07:57+00:00

More information. It's a bridge to Fort de Roovere in the Netherlands. The bridge doesn't float, as some people have speculated. The bridge goes through a moat, so water level rarely changes. The height of the water is further controlled by two adjustable dams on both sides of the moat, There's also a pump underneath the bridge in case of overflow

lynxlairliar · 2012-09-28T17:44:22+00:00

Imagine this but with thick glass.

CodyOdi · 2012-09-28T15:14:50+00:00

Suddenly, rain.

Bananapopcicle · 2012-09-28T19:46:55+00:00

Read the title as "Mooses Bridge". Was expecting some damn mooses!

dfcdiving · 2012-09-28T18:34:21+00:00

Thats really cool but couldn't they have found a nicer body of water to build it in?

Outi5 · 2012-09-28T18:18:16+00:00

If only it wasn't crossing a septic reservoir...

theluckyshrimp · 2012-09-28T19:11:21+00:00

the Mooses' bridge?

CidO807 · 2012-09-28T18:32:36+00:00

Looks like the bridge to the first blacksmith in Dark Souls.... Reality needs to quit stealing ideas.

redditwithafork · 2012-09-28T19:09:44+00:00

the forces exerted on each wall makes me cringe! How does it not collapse the walls in on each other? MAGIC!

Damn those Apple Maps!

ElderBowlsV · 2012-09-28T18:48:11+00:00

they used to have something like this on the Tram ride at Universal Studios Hollywood.

Sengura · 2012-09-28T19:03:22+00:00

I liked last week's repost of this better.

Magicaddict · 2012-09-28T19:11:42+00:00

Must be hell to clean come fall

sushi5000 · 2012-09-28T19:12:13+00:00

until it rains...

Yrrebbor · 2012-09-28T19:21:29+00:00

Awesome design! And yes, it would be improper to build a bridge on the side where the enemy was expected to arrive from.

TMorrii · 2012-09-28T19:33:39+00:00

FUCK YOU BITCH I'M MOSESING!!!!!!

infernal_llamas · 2012-09-28T19:38:17+00:00

also called the "oh shit rainstorm" bridge

Khoeth_Mora · 2012-09-28T19:38:45+00:00

I love uniqueness like this, but I am surprised such thin walls are able to avoid collapse because of the mass of water they are holding back. Impressive!

countdownkpl · 2012-09-28T19:50:49+00:00

Suddenly, a wave.

Professor_Mike · 2012-09-28T19:55:00+00:00

And then it rained.

CCDubs · 2012-09-28T20:01:44+00:00

Awesome, til it rains.

MontrealBornanRaised · 2012-09-28T20:01:56+00:00

What about when there's slight wind? WHAT THEN?

Rylext · 2012-09-28T20:04:10+00:00

Suddenly, an alligator._.

toysjoe · 2012-09-28T20:09:28+00:00

Wouldn't that get stagnant in the summer?

Chriz6097 · 2012-09-28T20:14:48+00:00

what happens when it rains...

rscarson · 2012-09-28T20:58:53+00:00

Wind.

MrSnackage · 2012-09-28T21:11:04+00:00

It's all fun and games until someone does a cannonball.

TheSneakySeal · 2012-09-28T21:11:27+00:00

So that's how he did it!

PhoenixSS · 2012-09-28T21:16:29+00:00

Nope.

Prophasis · 2012-09-28T21:17:58+00:00

There is just one like this where I live!

Just to be sure, could someone give me the location of the one on this picture?

lebowskisweater · 2012-09-28T21:25:38+00:00

Bridge.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

yura61 · 2012-09-28T21:44:42+00:00

Not sure if real bridge Or screengrab from Apple Maps

Moses2112 · 2012-09-28T21:49:29+00:00

Hope those pesky Egyptians stay away.

zaf1864 · 2012-09-28T21:57:58+00:00

I read this as the moose's bridge and was immediately disappointed

GoldenKevin · 2012-09-28T22:09:11+00:00

The engineering put into this bridge by the Hoover Dam is more impressive.

unitedairforce1 · 2012-09-28T22:18:31+00:00

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to iOS6 maps.

suspiciously_calm · 2012-09-28T22:23:38+00:00

HOW DOSE WATR FLO

lostNcontent · 2012-09-28T22:48:01+00:00

Looks like Apple Maps' interpretation of the Hoover Dam.

drewsy888 · 2012-09-28T23:05:27+00:00

It didn't work out too well for New Orleans...

tbuds · 2012-09-28T23:10:21+00:00

That seems like a horrible idea.

marcoferraris · 2012-09-28T23:47:40+00:00

must be shitty if it rains

Flaba44 · 2012-09-28T23:48:34+00:00

I literally saw this on damnlol (back before I was a redditor)

HUUUGE defeat for Bible-God

Aaaannd, then it sprinkles..

PuffinPastry · 2012-09-29T00:17:24+00:00

At first I was wondering why this was called the Moose Bridge...

moses bridge meet siphon

piklerainbow · 2012-09-29T00:33:00+00:00

when apple maps needs you to walk through a river

TechTwista · 2012-09-29T00:35:25+00:00

This is truly amazing, although the name needs work.

rgliszin · 2012-09-29T01:07:42+00:00

1000 + up-votes for a fucking re-post?!!!

Marktavian · 2012-09-29T01:23:18+00:00

Reminds me of making paths in roller coaster tycoon.

BranFlakes188 · 2012-09-29T01:25:04+00:00

Very cool. I believe an artist did a very similar thing but in a large mirrored room with oil. Was apparently quite disorienting.

Edit: Just looked it up; was Richard Wilson, a work called "20:50" in 1987. The path doesn't extend all the way through the room, though. Still, quite similar.

Fleshflayer · 2012-09-29T01:41:52+00:00

Oh.

This is a unique post.

TheAydenClay · 2012-09-29T01:45:59+00:00

I'm curious about if the water levels raise what happens to the bridge; does it raise with the water? Or what? sorry I've not got time to search, I only allow myself so long to procrastinate.

DracoOculus · 2012-09-29T01:51:23+00:00

Guess what happens when it rains.

32Dog · 2012-09-29T02:32:27+00:00

Someone fat jump in.

Now.

dedchickenz · 2012-09-29T03:43:58+00:00

Hey guys, You know the bridge?(⁾ Its a lie...

McGby128 · 2012-09-29T04:39:25+00:00

Must suck when it rains.

civilengineer · 2012-09-29T05:41:55+00:00

dat displacement

MONDARIZ · 2012-09-29T06:33:15+00:00

Would someone explain to him what a bridge is. A bridge goes over the water, remember that, over.

erichermit · 2012-09-28T15:33:33+00:00

So we're all speculating how it manages to stay at the perfect height. I think that the "bridge" actually floats.

Notice how the floor is fragmented? I think those are stairs that fold down if the water level rises or falls.

I'm actually probably wrong here, but this is just a wild guess on how they could manage to maintain that.

Kosard · 2012-09-28T17:54:16+00:00

Do this over the ocean and you have your god.

deftw · 2012-09-28T18:57:56+00:00

Cool, but what if it rains and the water level rises?

TheSoundAurora · 2012-09-28T18:26:32+00:00

Seems more like a tunnel than a bridge to me.

Pioustarcraft · 2012-09-28T19:01:25+00:00

EPIC REPOST ! glad to see your spaming finally paying :)

Maurier · 2012-09-28T20:38:12+00:00

Ironically I find this too be the most true representation.

This is how Moses parted the sea, not with magic but by simply using his head and telling followers to pile up rocks.

okfornothing · 2012-09-28T15:51:14+00:00

Didn't he walk on water, not through it?

time2fly2124 · 2012-09-28T17:37:07+00:00

What happens if theres a flood? do the walls just go higher????

a_sloth · 2012-09-28T18:56:33+00:00

HOLY SHIT THIS HAS PROBABLY FRONT PAGED OVER 9000 TIMES
