I think that's standard for longer bridges cause I remember hearing the same thing about the big dumbass bridge going to Wellesley Island in upstate New York.

Quick side note: Read somewhere that it takes a crew just about a full year to paint the entire GGB - and as soon as they are done they start all over again.

^ When I was about 11, we were taught the same thing about this bridge in Scotland: constantly being painted, but this one takes four years to finish before going back to the start again. Even a kid can see there's a lot of fiddly paintwork involved:-

Idk, I always thought that skydiving on acid would be a cool experience.

I'm not sure that civil engineering, heights or sky diving are the right accompaniments for a psychedelic experience. In my day it was all about wall hangings, picture books and listening to Saucerful of Secrets - or a walk in the woods for the more intrepid.
