The irregular steps on Venice's new bridge are taking a toll on visitors
quote:
Ten tourists have ended up in casualty after losing their footing on Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava's Constitution Bridge, which opened 20 days ago.

It's very pretty though! I can remember the problems with the millenium bridge in London from the Tate Modern over to near St.Paul's. That swung wildly when people went on it! Even now you see kids trying to get it moving, but it has just blended into the scenery for the adults 8 years on!
