(c)bichenodaily.com - A daily photo from the east coast of tasmania - a bridge at scamander with both ends blocked by flood.

Here is a question for you. The river combined with the storm waves produced a flood type situation that meant both ends of the footbridge to the beach were under water so the bridge couldn’t be used. So if a bridge can’t be used as a bridge is it still a bridge or just an obstacle that looks remarkably like a bridge?
