According to news reports, a bridge in Indonesia is at risk of collapsing because locals have been treating it as a toilet.
Public works officials have found that the Ampera Bridge, the landmark of Palembang City, the capital of South Sumatra province, has begun to lean on an angle and rocks slightly when traffic is heavy, the Jakarta Post said.
An official at the public works department in Palembang, Azmi Lakoni, was quoted as saying the bridge had deteriorated because people often took a leak on one of its piers, corroding the structure.
“We are concerned that one of its main support piers has been weakened by urine, as it is a popular spot for locals to relieve themselves,” Lakoni said.
There are so many lines you could come up with on this one but I thought I’d leave it alone. It’s amusing enough as it is.
