Legal Bridges Worldwide - Need Info ASAP
I'm working on expanding our jumping window at Bridge Day from 6 hrs to 3 full days. I'm writing a proposal for the WV Department of Highways and I need the following: 1) List of legal bridges throughout the USA (I know some, but not all). Any bridges that need to remain confidential, just give me the general location - to be used for statistical purposes only).
2) List of legal bridges outside the USA (if you don't want to divulge this, at least provide the country and/or area so I can get a count).
3) Any guess on the number of jumps made at some of the more well known bridges?
4) Do any of them provide legal access via the catwalk?
5) Any special rules, concerns, weight limits, etc?
My plan to expand Bridge Day made the newspapers a few months ago, and I plan to talk to many local TV stations about it soon. I've also done two live radio talk shows about it, and another jumper has discussed it with our new governor. Things are looking pretty good so far, but all it takes is one guy to stop progress.
Please send emails to jbell@vertical-visions.com rather than through dz.com.
Many thanks for your help.
