Not so much exciting just a bloody relief it's finally open.

It seems to have been finished for some time except that we had to wait on the convenience of a minor royal to be able to use it. If they wanted to have a politicians "bun fight" to christen it why not let it be used as soon as it was ready and have the official opening when the "celebrity" was available? I believe the bridge was supposed to be finished in September but was delayed as most projects are. If it had been finished on time would it have been idle for two months? Not to mention the cost of the shuttle bus which I note was still running late this afternoon.
