Tuesday 13th December, the last day a colleague would relish the look on my face as they convey news that the Tay Road Bridge was closed.

For now at least the bad news should be mine. The frustration of coming home via Perth–a 25 minute journey becomes ~2 hours–twice within a week was motivation enough to write TayBridgeTweets, a simple program that tweets when the status of the bridge changes.

Tay Road Bridge: Closed to cars & single decker busses.
