Note: road has interesting side effects. A new bridge on highway 17
"broke" when it got too cold: the stay cables on suspension bridge
contracted and ended up lifting bridge deck by about 1m above ground
level. So any fibre conduits would have been severed as it crossed from
ground to bridge.

Actually, it wasn't an entire meter - photos say an entire *foot* perhaps.  Stupid
metric-imperial conversion error :)
