To this day, he still hasn't stood on it.

The algorithm is generating a lot of interest in this bridge 4 years later. Have we walked across it yet?
-
Still standing strong! More esthetic trimming to be done in the Spring. Thanks for your interest.

"Because the last time...." Enough said.

I’m from Yorkshire in England and we have over 5000 miles of dry stone walling in Yorkshire, what you’ve made looks beautiful and is a real piece of old style engineering. We’ll done pal.

That's a pretty cool bridge. Probably a good idea to let it settle for a bit before walking across it. I think we would all love to have one of these in our back yards.

Guy #1: "Go STAND on it." Guy #2: "No. You go stand on it " Guy #1: "I am NOT going to stand on it. YOU stand on it." Please show the follow-up video of you two standing on top of your handiwork.

It is supported by it's own weight, locking the stones above down against each one below.... an old Roman trick.

"Go stand aaan it" 😂

Beautiful! Not bridges, but hand cut stone tunnels under the 1850's railway tracks in Niagara, the largest 160 feet x 20 feet x 20 feet still standing. And fun to paddle through! Everyone forgets the form work the carpenters had to do first to make them a reality. Thanks for posting!

I'm glad he got his boat back!

In Rome, when a bridge was opened, the engineers and their families stood beneath as the first carts passed above. And that is why some Roman stone bridges stand to this day.

Upvote if you think this needs a follow up video.

Beautifully done but I’m certain that the original dry stone bridge makers would have happily incorporated cement if they had access to any. And if you would have used some in the sub layers there wouldn’t be any arguing about who is going to be first to walk over it.

От меня подписка и пальчик вверх ! В Ютубе мне удалось посмотреть не менее десяти подобных мостиков . Все они меня завораживают давно . И вашим мостиком я восхищён ! Вы построили мостик из камня который у вас был в наличии ! Из Сибири с уважением, Владимир Мой город-Нижневартовск-Nizhnevartovsk.

Very Cool bridge. I read someplace that the Romans would make the head mason stand under the arch while the cribbing and formwork was removed.

We never found out what happened to ol' Daniel Renwald after that fateful day. Hopefully, Daniel finally crossed that bridge and walked into the light. However, some still say that on lonely fall nights just after the sun sets, if you sit quietly and listen to the wind, you can still hear him shouting in the distance "No! It's gotta stand there for a while!"

Dude said “the tappy tap”, I’m hooked 😂

Could have left the form loose under the bridge and then walked on it.

That’s a work of art! Thanks for posting
