Mexico's Bridges: Puente de la Ciudad de Coquimatlan (2)

Another view of a bridge across a branch of Rio Armeria near Coquimatlan in Colima, Mexico. It's the opposite of many of the bridges shown by the Happy Pontist, which are often state-of-the-art structures.

Should bridge aesthetics be the art of designing the cheapest bridge that fulfills its function? When we remove all the unneeded expense, is this the type of structure that emerges?
