Are we talking Bourne Identity for the past two bridges, Walt?

1. Escaping from Berlin police.

@Walter Hinteler,

I don't remember how many hours I've waited at this bridge (especially in the 60's) ...

(Poole Bridge, a bascule bridge in Poole, Dorset, England)

@raprap,

Had to look up what he solved, but still do not understand what is was about.
Still interesting to know a bridge can be famous for some problem solving.
