Perhaps a scroll inlet to a hydro-electric generator turbine?Quote:

Same thing happened to a small bridge on a back road near Cowarr in Victoria near where I lived some years ago. The empty log trucks used the road as a rat run, even though the 60 year old timber bridge was clearly marked 'Gross Limit 4 tonnes'. They got away with it for a couple of years until one morning a bedraggled truck driver knocked on a local farmers door and said his truck was in the creek - when the farmer wandered up to have a look, the truck was indeed in the creek, some 5 meters below the road level - still on what was left of the bridge....Quote:

Interesting the way it is sort of propped up with bits of wood……....Quote:
