The $30-million (€22-million) drawbridge project was supposed to open this month, and become an instant landmark connecting Valdivia with Teja island by bridging the Cau Cau River. But it has ended up a laughing stock in local social media, as Chileans wondered how construction workers managed to mess up something as seemingly clear as up and down.

Government overseers employing union labor. What could go wrong?

Actually this is pretty simple, the bridge section was
fabricated in Spain which is above the equator and the
bridge was built in Chile below the equator. So it
was a case of simple misunderstanding.
If they take the bridge section back to Spain, every thing
will be fine...
