Google Maps describes this highway (Sognefjellsvegen) as “The National Tourist Route: A steep, narrow road from Luster to Lom, passing lakes, snowfields, and craggy mountain peaks.” And I can attest, that’s pretty dang accurate.
How do they know when a bridge like this has gotten too damaged to use?

Ludwig Wittgenstein is important around these parts.

I guess this is what happens when you stop applying weather-sealant to your cabin walls for too many years.
