pat8lanips: One thing I have noticed over the years, whenever you're watching an American film and a bridge is closed for repairs, they always leave a pile of dirt each side so cars can jump over and land on the other side properly.
Given how much bridges cost to build or fix, why not simply have a jumping lane. Come to think of it, why not just do away with the boomgates and let people use the bridge as a jump when it's half up or half down.

seems as a healthier and cost-effective transportation

We have one main bridge connecting us to the rest of coastal Oregon, going North. I can tell you, when it has been closed, it causes quite a problem. One can drive out to an area called “ Eastside”, and take a very long, winding road northwest, come out to a little town called “ Glasgow”, and be on the other side of the bay. North Bend/Coos Bay is a frequent destination for small towns north of the bridge, as many people living in them work here. The McCullough, as she is named, has been closed twice ( for a week or two) in the past 14 years, so, not too often. We do not, in my observation, have anything like you mention. We did, however, have John Voigt, Henry Fonda, and Paul Newman stay here back in the 1970s, when they were making the movie, “Sometimes A Great Notion”. Given how much bridges cost to build or fix, why not simply have a jumping lane. Come to think of it, why not just do away with the boomgates and let people use the bridge as a jump when it's half up or half down.

I'm not sure about that... Terminator 2 was pretty good.
Not sure about that.
The Fugive was pretty good.
So was Golden Eye, Armi of Darkness, The Rock, Ghost, Friday, Man in Black, Schindler's List, The Green Mile, Appolo 13, The Bodyguard, The Truman Show, Shawshank Redemption, Jerry Maguire, Fargo, Point Break, The Sixth Sense, Poetic Justice, Silence of the lambs, The Matrix, Groundhog Day, Duplicity, Pulp Fiction - ok, I'll stop now

I would assume that most bridges in America were build by the first 2 piggies !!
That may be so, but I seem to recall a certain song about London bridge falling down. Obviously, there is scope for improvement with the English attitude to bridge maintenance as well.
