OBEC Squirrel Bridge in Longview, Washington - Lemmy.world

Can’t just have them leaping all nimbly-bimbly from tree to tree
Well, I may have to go check it out meow.
Exhibit A of why Green Day wrote a song about how boring the town is.

I wonder if the squirrels have learned to use it instead of the street. And do birds hang out on the roof of the covered bridge? Do any animals stay of of the rain in the covered part? Webcam?

This is interesting. I might try making one...

Nutty Narrows Bridge | Longview, WA

San Francisco has its cable cars. Seattle has its Space Needle. And, Longview has its squirrel bridge. The bridge, across Olympia Way near Civic Center circle has attracted international attention and is now a local landmark

Very interesting read.

Thank you for the link!

It cost $1,000 in 1963? That’s over $10k by today’s value
I love the little covered bridge section!
it’s great because it’s solely there for people to look at and go “aww”, the squirrels don’t give a toss they’re used to being out in the rain
