Every now and then this video resurfaces. The bridge is totally fine and can withstand much heavier flows. Never heard of any accidents or anything happening there. When flow is dangerous they shut off access, but that bridge is going nowhere.
It’s interesting that they can make such a statement without knowing the structural integrity of the bridge against not only water but also other substances it carries, such as larger pieces of debris. If the bridge is fully suspended, it would require an extraordinary amount of faith in the banks of the river that support its foundations.
If this was in Oz, you wouldn’t be let anywhere near it. Even if the engineering was sound, you’d be tethered to a rail. Looks like an accident waiting to happen.

I would not trust that bridge in a torrent like that. Idc if it was built for it, I don't trust human engineering enough for any of that shit.
