Which is a big part of why I said "it's the Dutch."
I don't know anything about this being an 'infrastructure canary,' however. TBH, I'd tend to hope that they don't assign nearly the specialised resources to this project as they do far more critical works. Because this is mostly just a fun little project, right..?
I mean, it's certainly not officially an infrastructure canary but if I lived in a Dutch region dependent on dams and pumps working, I'd be quite concerned if this bridge were to flood.
It shouldn't take too much effort to keep the bridge in working condition (I assume - it wouldn't have been built if it was prohibitively expensive to maintain) so if it does get flooded there is something going very wrong.
