Rusting metal fencing is everywhere in the suburbs of Madrid. There was a building spree in the 70s and 80s and this was the 'go to' fencing material of the day!
I'm not impressed with the state of the concrete in this footbridge either. I use it 6 times a week. I think it needs replacing ... very soon!

HFF Andy as a bridge the rust is not impressive but it makes a good photographic subject

A suggestive evidence of how suburbs can be neglected. HFF, Andy!

An interesting point about go-to railing materials. They're often very dateable.

Andy Rodker club has replied to John FitzGerald club
From about 5 km from the centre to about 10, Madrid is ringed by swathes of identi-kit buildings, roads, and railings! These districts are indistinguishable from each other and now probably house over half of Madrid's population. They were all built in the late 70s and early 80s in what must have been a mad precursor to Madrid's later construction boom of the late 90s to the crash of 2008 (which saw the building of suburbs further out, many of which lie there forlornly unfinished).
The only thing in favour of the earlier boom is that, apparently, the blocks of flats were much more sturdily built and with larger living spaces than in the later boom. I tried to find a photo of the earlier style but I haven't taken any. They simply haven't inspired me, unless under a sunrise or sunset such as this where the buildings aren't the main point! www.ipernity.com/doc/2247598/43291950/in/album/934636

Maybe you should ask Bergfex for some via ferrata equipment?
Nevertheless: HFF, many of it, still.

Point taken my friend, although I have crossed such bridges much worst than this over some of our roads. Great use of contrast to illustrate this.

HFF and have a great weekend, Herb

Its 100 + here and not much cooler at night and, strangely for Madrid, humid with it. So I am having to lean away from my laptop in case it drowns in the sweat from my brow!
