Movement of the bridge
As pedestrians stroll across the bridge the vibrations cause
a shifting and canter effect. the vibrations increase with the human traffic. At
the ends of the bridge there are small caster wheels to allow for this
movement. One way to measure this movement is to log the slide of the wheels .
the rubber coating on the wheels has worn due to this.
