Is aesthetics the price of freedom? Two months and lots of traffic disruption later the pictured protection has been erected on our nearby railway bridge...one on both sides of the bridge...It can only be described as hideous.
We can speculate on its purpose. Ever since we moved to Blackwood the presence of microwaves, televisions and other miscellaneous smashable stuff at the bottom of the railway culvert has intrigued us.
How did it get there?
One thing that always concerned me was that, despite the fact that we live with in view of this bridge, we never actually saw anyone throwing such heavy stuff over the side. Another was the fact that the object at the bottom seemd to change! How could this be? Clearly there was a regular stream of whitegoods; and we never saw any of it.
Now we have been protected! The two curved monstrosities on either side are the price we pay for safety. Will they work? It remains to be seen.

I live in the area and noticed this being finished off the other day. Bloody ugly. My wife thinks it's to stop suicides. I didn't know it was just white goods doing themselves in.
