  6. Thanks for the comments:

    Martina: It could, indeed, soon fall on your head. They are thinking of the knocking it down and rebuilding it as part of their grand vision of a city centre on the river (Stadtmitte am Fluss).

    Buenos Aires Photoblog: It is an imposing chunk of concrete. When they only had horses to worry about, they built them smaller.

    Unseen Rajasthan: Thanks.

    Don and Krise: A lot of the rivers in Northern Europe have such footpaths. They used to be tow-paths for the horses that dragged the boats along the river.

    Sonia: Si, y cada puente es un poco distincto.
