And Now We're Rolling
Lets examine this for a moment. You have a unique frame made from steel and wood timber. It's fully segmented so it can unroll across a pass and easily be transported by rolling back up via hydraulic rams.
I have one suggestion. Make the walkway move. It's 2007 and we don't have moving sidewalks yet. The Jetsons were a total sham!
Oh and before you ask, yes the bridge is real. Designed by U.K. based Heatherwick Studio. If someone is nearby, please take a picture on it. It's located in the Paddington Basin in London. You know, anything for me to vicariously live my dreams.

It made quite a stir when it was completed, and got a fair amount of publicity (as footbridges go). There are a few shots of it here.

That is so cool. Is it motorized? This is perfect for Venice.
