Once labelled the ‘world’s saddest twitter account’, Ottawa’s @airportbridge has reached its goal of amassing 1,000 twitter followers before its namesake pedestrian span is completed.
I win I got 1,000 followers before the bridge was completed! Yay!—

Spawned in late March of this year, when the bridge was already three years late and had been twice partially torn down to fix flaws, @airportbridge has pleaded steadily and wryly for its completion.
I am new to this twitter thing but I have been left all alone and dont know how to get someone to finish me!—

Originally planned to be finished in 2011, the $11-million bridge ($4.7 million more than the original $6.5-million budget) has had its tower torn down to replace faulty concrete, then its span removed as part of a complete redesign. The city is suing the original designer for $5.8 million. When complete, the bridge will link the South Keys and Hunt Club neighbourhoods as part of the Sawmill Creek recreational path.
Work is to begin Wednesday to place steel decking on the bridge and the city is advising motorists that traffic on the parkway will be disrupted until Friday. The northbound on ramp from Hunt Club Road will be closed from 6 p.m. Wednesday until 4 a.m. Thursday and Ottawa police will be on the scene to direct traffic on the parkway.
The parkway itself will be closed in both directions between Brookfield and Hunt Club roads from 7 p.m. Thursday until 4 a.m. Friday. The speed limit near the bridge has been reduced to 60 km/h from 80 km/h on the rest of the parkway.
Over the months, @airportbridge has befriended other bridges, like San Francisco’s @baybridge, chided the city for the slow pace of construction and flashed some jealous rage at Ottawa’s newly completed Strandherd-Armstrong Bridge, which Mayor Jim Watson likened to the Eiffel Tower.
I may not be an Eiffel Tower but can I be a bridge! That's all I'm asking…not that much to ask for answers, details, designs and plan…—

The bridge is expected to open later this year.
