Looks like a delightful ride for Glenn down to the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. It’s a masterpiece of engineering, but as this campaign poster (circa 1895) shows, the toll bridge idea is not exactly new.
Despite overcast conditions, Glenn spots some activity in the air. Although at first glance this may look like helicopters, advanced image processing techniques reveal the truth: this is in fact a mobile office.
No more jealousy over who travels. All travel. No more missing email, unfamiliar copiers. And no more panic when you forget a crucial paper - Just fetch it from your desk! We’ll all be back in time for tea!
Modern toll house is less picturesque, far better able to handle high traffic volumes
After waiting a couple of hours, the Bridge Police arrange for Glenn and bike to be shipped across.
The bridge is undoubtedly one of the technological marvels of the world, but a couple of photographs can’t begin to show the scale of the achievement.
