“This article is more than 24 years old”

Still an awesome article if you’ve never read it.

Am I missing something here? The article was posted in 2019

I’m an shit! I was trying to find the actual bridge that has since been built, based on the design. I found an article on The Guardian from 2001 (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2001/nov/01/engineering.internationaleducationnews) , about the same work that was done. And I conflated the two because it’s a damn old article. Now, this one is from 6 years ago, which is still pretty old… but it’s a cool article
