Circular Laguna Garzón Bridge, Uruguay
It's kinda neat, yes. But, I have to ask: Why did they do this?
From Wikipedia: The Laguna Garzón Bridge is a bridge famous for its unusual circular shape.[2] It is located in Garzón, Uruguay, and was designed by renowned Uruguayan architect Rafael Viñoly.[3][1] It is designed in a circular shape to force drivers to slow down, and allows for pedestrian access along the one-way circular route, including crosswalks that allow pedestrian access to either the inner or outer sidewalks of the circle.[4]
The bridge gives access across Laguna Garzón, a coastal lagoon previously served by a small 2-vehicle ferry that required daylight and good weather to operate. It was opened to vehicular traffic in December 2015, providing a crossing for pedestrians and up to approximately 1,000 vehicles a day.[5]

My thoughts exactly, Rick!
Deters the ‘boy racers’ speeding across the bridge perhaps?
If a storm damages it the hope is they can still use the undamaged loop and get across.
GMTA! :-) It looks cool, but it HAD to cost more.

I have seen this before (on this blog!) and didn't think it was real. Thanks for the full pictorial!
Anon@4:08pm - Thank you for the info! (I guess I could have looked it up myself, but seeing as how lazy I am...)
My first thought: because they could...
But thank you Anon for sparing me the research :-)
@ Anon - Thanks for the answers!
