Yikes! I kept reminding myself to put F3Bs and yet I made the mistake.

I guess so.

I wasnt exacly sure when the bridge was finished. But I needed an idetifyable landmark. So It has opened earlier. (say 1928?)

Seeing how a few thing appear a bit sooner in the Wesworld than in real history, it would only seem natural that that bridge is already there.

Well, it could be possible that they still need to do a few things to the bridge and that it hasn't been opened yet. Maybe somewhere at the end of this quarter or the next quarter.

Isn't that little bit of white behind the bridge on the far left side the remains of the Opera House? Yet another victim of the explosive Filipino Warships (tm)
