Messam used no glue and no steel reinforcement.
The only thing holding up the bridge is sheer compression.
The crazy part is you could actually walk over the bridge without it collapsing.
Wedges were hammered between each block to compact the structure, before removing the wooden former.
The Paper Bridge is a temporary project commissioned by the Lakes Culture tourism organization.
Stones used will be redistributed around the area leaving no footprint of the bridges existence.
