Bridge Gallop 2009
It is some 10 km across but the seas and currents might be to extreme to do?
Sure would make a great bridge gallop once the Trans Labrador Highway gets completed.
What a way to open the TLH by building a temporary Ribbon bridge.
The ribbon bridge is a modular, aluminum-alloy, and continuous floating bridge system consisting of interior and ramp bays that are transported, launched, and retrieved by a transporter/launcher vehicle. Bridge bays, which are carried in a folded position, automatically open upon entering the water to form a 22-foot section of bridge. Under certain raft/bridge designs and slower current velocities, the M1 Abrams tank can cross the ribbon bridge.
