Will it go under the Gatwick bridge?

Wow ! I can imagine the pictures one could take from the bridge as a 747
passes underneath.

I assume that security issues will force security agents to be stationed on
the bridge to prevent anyone from staying on bridge to take pictures.

There's a bridge like this at DEN. According to
http://www.flydenver.com/ "it's 65 feet long, weighs 3,300 tons and
the bottom of the bridge is 45.61 feet above the taxiway pavement at
the highest point of its arc." You can see some pictures of it he

(scroll down to "Lorenzo's Bridge.")

I've lingered on the bridge for 10-15 minutes as recently as April 04.
No one cared.

Nobody,

I know. I live in Hamburg, the city by that swamp (which is a river
march land, really).
