Should concrete bridges be painted?
Should concrete bridges be painted to blend in with their surroundings?
I think so, I don't mind an old viaduct or something like that but have a pet hate about concrete ones - they look awful Sure there is a way of colouring the concrete instead of leaving it that shi**y colour Below is a picture of one down the Dunkenhalgh, I have adjusted the hue/saturation on the bridge to blend it in with the country, which looks best? Dont go off my painting, it was only a quick outline of the bridge

Re: Should concrete bridges be painted?
I think the one you have altered looks best. Maybe the concrete could be treated with something that would encourage moss and lichen to grow on it.....though I am not sure if this would compromise the structural strength.......I'm sure there will be someone out there who would be able to tell us.

Re: Should concrete bridges be painted?
That reminds me i've got to go and take the tower.
The green bridge looks much better. I suppose there's some bull excuse of they cant paint it because they need to inspect it. There's a nice bridge on the 62. I think I've got a pic of that somewhere. big arched one across the motorway.

Re: Should concrete bridges be painted?
Yes, they should be painted but let's not go green, why not pink, blue, orange with yellow dots? Let's get creative folks!

Re: Should concrete bridges be painted?
I think all cars and busses should be green as well for the same reason. Could you paint the vehicles green as well please to prove my point?
