The bridge he tends is being replaced, so he bought it and is having it installed in his Heeswijk backyard. “I just think it’s a beautiful bridge,” he said. "I have room at home." After the rebuilding job is complete, he’ll add a pond to the yard. “A bridge has to have water under it,” he explained. (AP) ...And his wife thought a bridge tender never brought his work home with him.
