The Flipper Bridge

Ever traveled from China to Hong-Kong by car...most likely not, but there is a huge problem with it they drive on opposite sides of the road.  Hong Kong drive on the left and China is on the right, NL Architects from Holland solved the problem, a bridge shaped as an 8. The halves cross over each other and change sides as a part of the Hong Kong Boundary Crossing Facilities International Design Ideas Competition, but it did not even make the finals. The bridge however is a creative solution to flipping a bridge driving directions. "It was important to us to show that road design could be interesting and maybe even fun."
