This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

How does this work? Wouldn't even a light rainfall cause it to flood in on itself?

The bridge is waterproof and the water is a moat. You can find more info about it here.

I appreciate that, but even waterproof things can be underwater and moat water can rise. I'm curious about how the drainage works.

It would have drainage on a slope that goes to somewhere even lower.
